Image
If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
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
Gospel riches are sent to remove our wretchedness, and mercy to remove our misery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Repentance will not make you see Christ but to see Christ will give you repentance.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The wicked man, when he dies, is driven to his grave, but the Christian comes to his grave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satisfaction with results will be the [death] knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You have need to pray to God, not only to help you in your troubles--but to help you in your blessings
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who, despite the teaching of Scripture, tries to pray without a Savior, insults the deity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Scripture is like a lion. Who ever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose it will defend itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Child of God, you cost Christ too much for him to forget you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My entire theology can be condensed into four words, 'JESUS DIED FOR ME'.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A well marked Bible is the sign of a well-fed soul.

Image
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.

By all means read the Puritans, they are worth more than all the modern stuff put together.
