Quote

If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.

Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.
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?

The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth.

The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves, he looks, he touches us, we live.

Show me 12 drunkards and I will show you 12 nagging wives.

You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.

Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.

Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.

Where the plow does not go and the seed is not sown, the weeds are sure to multiply.

Image
God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I will do as much as I can, says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me say that for comfort, there is no thought more full of sweetness than that of an eternal God engaged in Christ Jesus to His people to love, and bless, and save them all. One Who has made them the distinguished objects of His discriminating regard from all eternity, it is the eternal God.

If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.

There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.

A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.

He who have two grounds of trust is lost!
