Image
If you truly believe in Jesus, it is for life. Saving faith is a life-long act.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I shall never understand, even in heaven, why the Lord Jesus should ever have loved me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Death is the waiting-room where we robe ourselves for immortality.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the best attested facts on record. There were so many witnesses to behold it, that if we do in the least degree receive the credibility of men's testimonies, we cannot and we dare not doubt that Jesus rose from the dead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan always hates Christian fellowship it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is so boundlessly pleased with Jesus that in him he is altogether well pleased with us.
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
We have all heard the story of the man who preached so well and lived so badly, that when he was in the pulpit everybody said he ought never to come out again, and when he was out of it they all declared he never ought to enter it again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture the book widens and deepens with our years.

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.

Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.
