...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.

Image
This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.

You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.

The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger.

Image
The more of heaven there is in our lives, the less of earth we shall covet.

Image
God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.

Image
If God calls you to be a minister, don't stoop to becoming a king.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The bounden duty of a true believer towards men who profess to be Christians, and yet deny the Word of the Lord, and reject the fundamentals of the Gospel, is to come out from among them

No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who climbs above the cares of this world, and turns his face to his God, has found the sunny side of life.

As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
