None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Blessed are the peacemakers, and one sure way of peacemaking is to let the fire of contention alone. Neither fan it, nor stir it, nor add fuel to it, but let it go out by itself. Begin your ministry with one blind eye and one deaf ear.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You must keep all earthy treasures out of your heart, and let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not have the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give, they eagerly demanded.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God will hear His people at the beginning of their prayers if the condition of their heart is ready for it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The angels did not merely sin and lose heaven, but they passed beyond all other beings in sin and made themselves fit denizens for hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It does not spoil your happiness to confess your sin. The unhappiness is in not making the confession.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some ministers would make good martyrs: they are so dry they would burn well.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We should shun ingratitude, and live daily in the heavenly atmosphere of thankful love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God does not save men by truth, he certainly will not save them by lies. And if the old gospel is not competent to work a revival, then we will do without the revival.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is nothing little in God His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favours and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God.
Charles Spurgeon

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
