The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.”

You will never be saved against your will God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A well marked Bible is the sign of a well-fed soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It seems to me that doubt is worse than trial. I had sooner suffer any affliction than be left to question the gospel or my own interest in it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom, and salvation is all of grace, from first to last. He that perishes chooses to perish but he that is saved is saved because God has chosen to save him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All places are places of worship to a Christian. Wherever he is, he ought to be in a worshiping frame of mind.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is not a hard requirement - it is the natural duty of a creature to its creator, the simplest homage that human need can pay to divine liberality.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, the hard, cruel thoughts which men have toward one another when they are angry! They kill and slay a thousand times over. These hasty sins are soon forgotten by us, but they are not forgotten by God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is the surest proof of man's natural enmity against God that he dares to impute falsehood to one who is truth itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the giving of the Law, while it was yet unbroken, was attended with such a display of awe-inspiring power, what will that day be when the Lord shall, with flaming fire, take vengeance on those who have willfully broken that Law?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you speak of heaven, let your face light up...When you speak of hell well then, your everyday face will do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Darkness is the fit hour for beasts of prey, and ignorance the natural dwelling place of cruelty.
Charles Spurgeon
