A holy life is in itself a wonderful power, and will make up for many deficiencies it is in fact the best sermon a man can ever deliver.

If your creed and Scripture do not agree, cut your creed to pieces, but make it agree with this book.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Puritans were accustomed to explain faith by the word 'recumbency.' It meant leaning upon a thing. Lean with all your weight upon Christ. It would be a better illustration still if I said, fall at full length, and lie on the Rock of Ages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, and not the apologist of sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is nothing little in God His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favours and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarecely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A rejoicing heart soon makes a praising tongue.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every man needs a blind eye and a deaf ear, so when people applaud, you'll only hear half of it, and when people salute, you'll only see part of it. Believe only half the praise and half the criticism.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we believe that God hears us, it is but natural that we should be eager to hear Him. Only from Him can come the word which can speak peace to troubled spirits the voices of men are feeble in such a case, a plaster far too narrow for the sore but God's voice is power, He speaks and it is done, and hence when we hear Him our distress is ended.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The cry of a young raven is nothing but the natural cry of a creature, but your cry, if it be sincere, is the result of a work of grace in your heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.
