Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Gospel is like a caged lion you don't have to defend it - just let it out of the cage.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.
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
The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house they have not gone far off they are upstairs and we are down below.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To rejoice in temporal comforts is dangerous, to rejoice in self is foolish, to rejoice in sin is fatal, but to rejoice in God is heavenly.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our spiritual manhood in heaven will discard many things which we now count precious, as a full-grown man discards the treasures of his childhood.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
...never go to look on man till you have first looked on your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There, poor sinner, take my garment, and put it on you shall stand before God as if you were Christ, and I will stand before God as if I had been the sinner I will suffer in the sinner's stead, and you shall be rewarded for works that you did not do, but which I did for you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Lost! Lost! Lost! Better a whole world on fire than a soul lost! Better every star quenched and the skies a wreck than a single soul to be lost!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy a man becomes, the more conscious he is of unholiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home-a moment will bring us there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is an unfortunate thing for the Christian to be melancholy. If there is any man in the world that has a right to have a bright, clear face and a flashing eye, it is the man whose sins are forgiven him, who is saved with God's salvation.

We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody said he ought never to come out again, and when he was out of it they all declared he never ought to enter it again.
