Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.

Image
Oh that I could have the cross painted on my eyeballs, that I could not see anything except through the medium of my Savior’s passion!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who, despite the teaching of Scripture, tries to pray without a Savior, insults the deity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He (Jesus) will reign over you, either by your consent, or without it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God. A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp Him, He could not be infinite. If we could understand Him, He could not be divine.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Death is the waiting-room where we robe ourselves for immortality.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and re-read them...digest them...a student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by 20 books he has merely skimmed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To preach the gospel is to stae every doctrine contained in God's word, and to give every truth its proper prominence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To think that before the hills were formed, or the channels of the sea were scooped out, God loved me that from everlasting to everlasting His mercy is upon His people. Is not that a consolation?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are, in truth, but two denominations upon this earth: the Church and the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.
