Quote

I hope the doctrine that Christians ought to be gloomy will soon be driven out of the universe. There are no people in the world who have such a right to be happy, nor have such cause to be joyful as the saints of the living God.

We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.

You must be in fashion is the utterance of weak headed mortals.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith has a saving connection with Christ. Christ is on the shore, so to speak, holding the rope, and as we lay hold of it with the hand of our confidence, He pulls us to shore but all good works having no connection with Christ are drifted along down the gulf of fell despair.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.

The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.

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.
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.

Calvinism did not spring from Calvin. We believe that it sprang from the great Founder of all truth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.
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
Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

God notices every one of us there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees.

Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in Egypt. All must come from Jesus or thou art undone forever. Old anointings will not suffice to impart unction to thy spirit thine head must have fresh oil poured upon it from the golden horn of the sanctuary, or it will cease from its glory.

Oh, for five hundred Elijahs, each one upon his Carmel , crying unto God, and we should soon have the clouds bursting into showers. Oh, for more prayer, more constant, incessant prayer! Then the blessing would rain upon us.
