Image
I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, What! all this, and Christ too?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All good is born in prayer, and all good springs from it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.

Dying is the last,but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praise is the Rehearsal of Our eternal Song By Grace We learn to Sing, and in Glory We Continue to Sing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is ready to cleanse you, It is sin, after all, that lies at the door and blocks you way to the Savior.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In 40 years I have not spent 15 minutes without thinking of Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
They who seek Christ are already being sought of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many people write their blessings in the sand but engrave their sorrows in marble
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not the bigness of the words you utter, but the force with which you deliver them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?

Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.
