Quote

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.

Image
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Darkness is the fit hour for beasts of prey, and ignorance the natural dwelling place of cruelty.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A well marked Bible is the sign of a well-fed soul.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man's wonder grows with his knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Many books in my library are now behind and beneath me. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that in public worship we should do well to be bound by no human rules, and constrained by no stereotyped order.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you were God’s children you would loathe the very thought of the world’s evil joys, and your question would not be, “How far may we be like the world?” but your one cry would be, “How far can we get away from the world? How much can we come out from it?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you simply take the name of Christ upon you and call yourself His servant, yet do not obey Him, but follow your own whim, or your own hereditary prejudice, or the custom of some erroneous church-you are no servant of Christ. If you really are a servant of Christ, your first duty is to obey Him.

John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, It passeth away for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God.

No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow.
