Image
God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God grant, if we must have two eyes, that they may be both clear ones, one the eye of faith wholly fixed on Christ, the other the eye of obedience equally and wholly fixed on the same objective!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To me, Calvinism means the placing of the eternal God at the head of all things.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No Scripture is exhausted by a single explanation. The flowers of God's garden bloom not only double, but sevenfold they are continually pouring forth fresh fragrance.

Image
You have need to pray to God, not only to help you in your troubles--but to help you in your blessings

If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earthto us.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some people are never content with their lot, let what will happen. Clouds and darkness are over their heads, alike whether it rain or shine. To them every incident is an accident, and every accident a calamity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not all darkness in a heart which can cry, My God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write 'damnation' with your fingers.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, acts with a hand that never fails
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The angels did not merely sin and lose heaven, but they passed beyond all other beings in sin and made themselves fit denizens for hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The best way to live above all fear of death is to die every morning before you leave your bedroom.

Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.
