“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 earth to us.” ~ Charles H. Spurgeon

"The furnace of affliction is a good place for you, Christian; it benefits you; it helps you to become more like Christ, and it is fitting you for heaven." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"Opposition to divine sovereignty is essentially atheism. Men have no objection to a god who is really no God; I mean, by this, a god who shall be the subject of their caprice, who shall be a lackey to their will, who shall be under their control,—they have no objection to such a being as that; but a God who speaks, and it is done, who commands, and it stands fast, a God who has no respect for their persons, but doeth as he wills among the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of this lower world, such a God as this they cannot endure." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"We can never understand how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can be three and yet one. For my part, I have long ago given up any desire to understand this great mystery, for I am perfectly satisfied that, if I could understand it, it would not be true, because God, from the very nature of things, must be incomprehensible." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"Any doctrine, which hath not the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as equal persons in one
undivided essence, we cast aside as being unsound, for we are sure that such doctrines must be derogatory to God’s glory; and if they be so it is enough for us." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon "Poverty is hard, but debt is horrible." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"Put the two truths together, that the love of God is first, and that the love of God is the cause of our love, and I think you will be inclined henceforth to be believers in what are commonly called the doctrines of grace." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"A wise man does at first what a fool does at last." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
"I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
