Quote

Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.

If I had my choice of all the blessings I can conceive of I would choose perfect conformity to the Lord Jesus, or, in one word, holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is more ready to forgive me than I am ready to offend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earthto us.
Charles Spurgeon

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
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We often forget that the author of our faith must be the finisher of it also.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember that thought is speech before God.

The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world in its very essence it is for ever good news.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every sinner must be quickened by the same life, made obedient to the same gospel, washed in the same blood, clothed in the same righteousness, filled with the same divine energy, and eventually taken up to the same heaven, and yet in the conversion of no two sinners will you find matters precisely the same.

Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible you open its cage and let it roar.

You may alter an opinion, but you cannot alter a # fact .

Image
True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!

A tear is enough water to float a desire to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.

If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.

Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you.
