Image
We must mark God's providence leading us and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The best worship that we ever render to God is far from perfect. Our praises, how faint and feeble they are! Our prayers, how wandering, how wavering they are! When we get nearest to God, how far off we are! When we are most like Him, how greatly unlike Him we are!
Charles Spurgeon

Man's wonder grows with his knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Conflicts bring experience and experience brings that growth in Grace which is not to be attained by any other means!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
So long as we are receivers of mercy, we must be givers of thanks.

Image
Earnestness is good it means business. But fanaticism overdoes, and is consequently reactionary.

Nothing is so sweet as to lie passive in God's hands, and know no will but His.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, Don't be a minister if you can help it, because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.
Charles Spurgeon

Men to be truly won must be won by truth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are, in truth, but two denominations upon this earth: the Church and the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in Egypt. All must come from Jesus or thou art undone forever. Old anointings will not suffice to impart unction to thy spirit thine head must have fresh oil poured upon it from the golden horn of the sanctuary, or it will cease from its glory.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.

Show me 12 drunkards and I will show you 12 nagging wives.
