Quote

There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place... Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace... The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot's power.

The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.

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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that is never on his knees on earth shall never stand upon his feet in heaven
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing. Go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy! Your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms! And your need is the motive for heavenly goodness.
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
When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are few people who think what a solemn thing it is to be a Christian. I guess there is not a believer in the world who knows what a miracle it is to be kept a believer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus humility, happiness, and holiness.

God is more ready to forgive me than I am ready to offend.

Child of God, you cost Christ too much for him to forget you.
