Image
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, for five hundred Elijahs, each one upon his Carmel , crying unto God, and we should soon have the clouds bursting into showers. Oh, for more prayer, more constant, incessant prayer! Then the blessing would rain upon us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing. Go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy! Your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms! And your need is the motive for heavenly goodness.

Charles Spurgeon
Image
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The anvil is not afraid of the hammer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Look to the cross, and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well Beloved to the tree.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who is his own guide is guided by a fool.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Of all the things in the world that can set the heart burning, there is nothing like the presence of Jesus!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The demon of pride was born with us and it will not die one hour before us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace for I hope to swim to glory on it.
