Charles Spurgeon
Image

See yonder another King's garden, which the King waters with his bloody sweat-Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits.

Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
O child of God, be more careful to keep the way of the Lord, more concentrated in heart in seeking His glory, and you will see the loving-kindness and the tender mercy of the Lord in your life.

Image
The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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

That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
