A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.

He who is his own guide is guided by a fool.
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

Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My witness is, that those who are honoured of their Lord in public, have usually to endure a secret chastening, or to carry a peculiar cross, lest by any means they exalt themselves, and fall into the snare of the devil.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our happy God should be worshiped by a happy people.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Does the world satisfy thee? Then thou hast thy reward & portion in this life make much of it, for thou shalt know no other joy
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, to have “the word of Christ” always dwelling inside of us-in the memory, never forgotten in the heart, always loved in the understanding, really grasped with all the powers and passions of the mind fully submitted to its control!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you have no share in the living Lord may God have mercy upon you! If you have no share in Christ's rising from the dead then you will not be raised up in the likeness of His glorified body. If you do not attain to that resurrection from among the dead then you must abide in death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never be afraid of the world's censure it's praise is much more to be dreaded.

In 40 years I have not spent 15 minutes without thinking of Jesus.
