Quote

The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'

Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He bequeaths us His manger, from which to learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God.
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.

That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The religion of both Old and New Testaments is marked by fervent outspoken testimonies against evil. To speak smooth things in such a case may be sentimentalism, but it is not Christianity. It is a betrayal of the cause of truth and righteousness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”
Charles Spurgeon

The moment the church of God shall despise the pulpit, God will despise her.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We know of no cure for the love of evil in a Christian like daily communion with the Lord Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more to bleed, and die, and suffer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in him he is altogether well pleased with us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me say that for comfort, there is no thought more full of sweetness than that of an eternal God engaged in Christ Jesus to His people to love, and bless, and save them all. One Who has made them the distinguished objects of His discriminating regard from all eternity, it is the eternal God.
Charles Spurgeon

There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
