Charles Spurgeon

My trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, he is my righteousness.

You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.

Prayer gives a channel to the pent-up sorrows of the soul, they flow away, and in their stead streams of sacred delight pour into the heart.

It is never worth while to make rents in a garment for the sake of mending them? Nor to create doubts in order to show how cleverly we can quiet them.

Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.

A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.

If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.

All good is born in prayer, and all good springs from it.

We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.

Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.

Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The "divine service" is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.

If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation.

My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?

A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way; you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.

He is truly great in who hath power over himself.

Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!

Song of God and Son of Man, there He hangs, bearing pains unutterable, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God.

There are few people who think what a solemn thing it is to be a Christian. I guess there is not a believer in the world who knows what a miracle it is to be kept a believer.

Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus.

The worst thing thou has to fear is the treachery of thine own heart.
