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.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Prayer irrigates the fields of life with the waters which are stored up in the reservoirs of promise.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.
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
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
He that reads his Bible to find fault with it will soon discover that the Bible finds fault with him.

Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must mark God's providence leading us and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I met another man who considered himself perfect, but he was thoroughly mad and I do not believe that any of the pretenders to perfection are better than good maniacs... for while a man has got a spark of reason left in him, he cannot, unless he is the most impudent of impostors, talk about being perfect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we empty our hearts of self God will fill them with His love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.

Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.

It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.

When you are instructed by affliction, you can become a comforter to the afflicted.
