The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.

If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.

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

Jesus poured out his soul in life before he poured it out unto death
Charles Spurgeon

The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination. If we had no troubles but real troubles, we should not have a tenth part of our present sorrows. We feel a thousand deaths in fearing one, but the (the Christian) cured of the disease of fearing.
Charles Spurgeon

People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All places are places of worship to a Christian.
Charles Spurgeon

Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.
Charles Spurgeon

I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that the happiest of all Christians and the truest of Christians are those who never dare to doubt God, but take His Word simply as it stands, and believe it, and ask no questions, just feeling assured that if God has said it, it will be so.

Only he is fit to preach who cannot avoid preaching, who feels that woe is upon him unless he preach the gospel

Trials teach us what we are.
