Mind your till, and till your mind. (Charles Spurgeon)
Losses and crosses are heavy to bear; but when our hearts are right with God, it is wonderful how easy the yoke becomes. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
The gospel is a reasonable system, and it appeals to men's understanding; it is a matter for thought and consideration, and it appeals to the conscience and reflecting powers. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
The first thing in faith is knowledge. What we know we must also agree unto. What we agree unto we must rest upon alone for salvation. It will not save me to know that Christ is a Saviour; but it will save me to trust Him to be my Saviour. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
The greatest, strongest, mightiest plea for the church of God in the world is the existence of the Spirit of God in its midst, and the works of the Spirit of God are the true evidences of Christianity. They say miracles are withdrawn, but the Holy Spirit is the standing miracle of the church of God to-day. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
Jesus was a great worker, and His disciples must not be afraid of hard work. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
Doubts about the fundamentals of the gospel exist in certain churches, I am told, to a large extent. My dear friends, where there is a warm-hearted church, you do not hear of them. I never saw a fly light on a red-hot plate. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple. View quote

It needs more skill than I can tell To play the second fiddle well. (Charles Spurgeon)
It is a grand thing to see a man thoroughly possessed with one master-passion. Such a man is sure to be strong, and if the master-principle be excellent, he is sure to be excellent, too. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
He that buildeth his nest upon a Divine promise shall find it abide and remain until he shall fly away to the land where promises are lost in fulfillments. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
When men's hearts are melted under the preaching of the word, or by sickness, or the loss of friends, believers should be very eager to stamp the truth upon the prepared mind. Such opportunities are to be seized with holy eagerness. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
Faith has a saving connection with Christ. Christ is on the shore, so to speak, holding the rope, and as we lay hold of it with the hand of our confidence, He pulls us to shore; but all good works having no connection with Christ are drifted along down the gulf of fell despair. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
The vendors of flowers in the streets of London are wont to commend them to customers by crying: "All a blowing and a growing." It would be no small praise to Christians if we could say as much for them. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
God looketh upon any thing we say, or any thing we do, and if He seeth Christ in it, He accepteth it; but if there be no Christ, He putteth it away as a foul thing. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
A child of God should be a visible Beatitude, for joy and happiness, and a living Doxology, for gratitude and adoration. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
There are believers who by God's grace, have climbed the mountains of full assurance and near communion, their place is with the eagle in his eyrie, high aloft; they are like the strong mountaineer, who has trodden the virgin snow, who has breathed the fresh, free air of the Alpine regions, and therefore his sinews are braced, and his limbs are vigorous; these are they who do great exploits, being mighty men, men of renown.

Charles Spurgeon
You cannot slander human nature it is worse than words can paint it. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
I think I speak not too strongly when I say that a church in the land without the Spirit of God is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember you stand in somebody else's way; you are a tree bearing no fruit, standing where another fruitful tree might grow. (Charles Spurgeon)
It lies not in man's right nor in man's power truly to justify the guilty. This is a miracle reserved for the Lord alone. God, the infinitely just Sovereign, knows that there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not, and therefore, in the infinite sovereignty of His divine nature and in the splendor of His ineffable love, He undertakes the task, not so much of justifying the just as of justifying the ungodly. God has devised ways and means of making the ungodly man to stand justly accepted before Him: He has set up a system by which with perfect justice He can treat the guilty as if he had been all his life free from offence, yea, can treat him as if he were wholly free from sin. He justifieth the ungodly. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
Can you by humble faith look to Jesus and say: "My substitute, my refuge, ray shield; Thou art my rock, my trust; in Thee do I confide? "Then, beloved, to you I have nothing to say, except this: " Never be afraid when you see God's power; for now that you are forgiven and accepted, now that by faith you have fled to Christ for refuge, the power of God need no more terrify you than the shield and sword of the warrior need terrify his wife and child."

Charles Spurgeon
The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation. View quote
Charles Spurgeon
Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us. View quote
