Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed and let my motto be, Ready for either.

Image
Do what you believe to be right, and ever hold it for a maxim, that if the skies fall through your doing right, honest men will survive the ruin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I cannot agree with those who say that they have 'new truth' to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
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.

Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God knows where every particle of the handful of dust has gone he has marked in his book the wandering of every one of its atoms. He hath death so open before His view, that He can bring all these together, bone to bone, and clothe them with the very flesh that robed them in the days of yore, and make them live again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
Charles Spurgeon

He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must trust as if it all depended on God and work as if it all depended on us
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Word of God will be to you a bulwark and a high tower, a castle of defense against the foe. Oh, see to it that the Word of God is in you, in your very soul, permeating your thoughts, and so operating upon your outward life, that all may know you to be a true Bible-Christian, for they perceive it in your words and deeds.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men will allow God to be everywhere except on his Throne

Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Now and then there comes a crash of thunder in a storm, and we look up with amazement when he sets the heavens on a blaze with his lightning.
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
It is the surest proof of man's natural enmity against God that he dares to impute falsehood to one who is truth itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.

You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.
