If it were Christ's intention to save all men, how deplorably He has been disappointed!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would as soon pray to God with machinery as to sing to God with machinery.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!

Jesus poured out his soul in life before he poured it out unto death
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is said that if Noah's ark had to be built by a company they would not have laid the keel yet and it may be so. What is many men's business is nobody's business. The greatest things are accomplished by individual men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are, in truth, but two denominations upon this earth: the Church and the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All the hope of our ministry lies in the Spirit of God operating on the spirits of men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Your sorrow itself shall be turned into joy. Not the sorrow to be taken away, and joy to be put in its place, but the very sorrow which now grieves you shall be turned into joy. God not only takes away the bitterness and gives sweetness in its place, but turns the bitterness into sweetness itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We live charmed lives if we are living in the center of God's will. All the attacks that Satan can hurl against us are not only powerless to harm us, but are turned into blessing on the way.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Consume all obstacles, heavenly fire, and give us now both hearts of flame and tongues of fire to preach Your reconciling word, for Jesus' sake

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the kingdom
