Image
Stand still - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, Go forward.

Before you can teach children, you must get the silver key of kindness to unlock their hearts, and so secure their attention.

Image
Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?
Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon
Image
To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image

The preaching of Christ is the whip that flogs the devil. The preaching of Christ is the thunderbolt, the sound of which makes all hell shake.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Give because you love to give - as the flower pours forth its perfume.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some people are never content with their lot, let what will happen. Clouds and darkness are over their heads, alike whether it rain or shine. To them every incident is an accident, and every accident a calamity.
