Quote

We must teach plainly that the faith which saves the soul is not a dead faith, but a faith which operates with purifying effect upon our entire nature, and produces in us fruits of righteousness to the praise and glory of God.

When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You must be in fashion is the utterance of weak headed mortals.

To be cast down is often the best thing that can happen to us.
Charles Spurgeon
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 do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.

Many books in my library are now behind and beneath me. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.

If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.

Men talk of the mistakes of Scripture. I thank God that I have never met with any. Mistakes of translation there may be, for translators are men. But mistakes of the original word there never can be, for the God who spoke it is infallible, and so is every word he speaks, and in that confidence we find delightful rest.

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
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.
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
If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Go forth today, by the help of God's Spirit, vowing and declaring that in life - come poverty, come wealth, in death - come pain or come what may, you are and ever must be the Lord's. For this is written on your heart, 'We love Him because He first loved us.'
Charles Spurgeon

All good is born in prayer, and all good springs from it.

When I cease to preach salvation by faith in Jesus put me into a lunatic asylum, for you may be sure that my mind is gone.

Image
I would go to the deeps a hundred times a cheer a downcast spirit.

Holy service in constant fellowship with God is heaven below
