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

Gospel riches are sent to remove our wretchedness, and mercy to remove our misery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Christian's life should be one of thankfulness to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.

There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity.

Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
O child of God, be more careful to keep the way of the Lord, more concentrated in heart in seeking His glory, and you will see the loving-kindness and the tender mercy of the Lord in your life.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that the happiest of all Christians and the truest of Christians are those who never dare to doubt God, but take His Word simply as it stands, and believe it, and ask no questions, just feeling assured that if God has said it, it will be so.

True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ be anything, He must be everything.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is not a hard requirement - it is the natural duty of a creature to its creator, the simplest homage that human need can pay to divine liberality.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No matter how dear you are to God, if pride is harboured in your spirit, He will whip it out of you. They that go up in their own estimation must come down again by His discipline
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are some things that can be learned by the head, but Christ crucified can only be learned by the heart
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the sum my brethren, preach Christ, always and evermore. He is the whole gospel. His person, offices, and work must be our one great all-comprehending theme
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We want to assure you...that if you seek Him you will find Him. Jesus casts out none who come unto Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.

Image
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.

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.
