Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.

Faith is Good for Everything – Charles Spurgeon
(Faith) is good for everything—good for the timid to make them strong, good for the rash to make them wise; it is good for those who are desponding to make them brave, and good for those who are too daring, to make them discreet. There is no respect in which faith is not useful to us, therefore, whatever you leave out, see to your faith; if you forget all besides, be careful above all that ye take the shield of faith (Ephesians 6:16).
– Charles Spurgeon –
from the sermon “The Shield of Faith”, October 27,1861
Be Like Christ – Charles Spurgeon
O, there is nothing that can so advantage you, nothing can so prosper you, so assist you, so make you walk towards heaven rapidly, so keep your heads upwards toward the sky, and your eyes radiant with glory, like the imitation of Jesus Christ. It is when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in his very footsteps, and tread in his ways, you are most happy and you are most known to be sons and daughters of God. For your sake, Christ, I say, be like Christ. To draw him nearer to me, and myself nearer to him is the innermost longing of my soul.

Precision in Prayer – Charles Spurgeon
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It’s as if a regiment of soldiers were to all fire off their weapons anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.

God is Faithful – Charles Spurgeon
God has given no pledge that he will not redeem and encouraged no hope that he will not fulfill.

Charles Spurgeon’s One Prayer
I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to him.

Let Us Live Justly – Charles Spurgeon
Let us look to it that in all things we are just – in our trade, in our judgment of others, in our treatment of neighbors, and in our own personal character. A just God cannot bless unjust transactions.

Embrace Difficulty – Charles Spurgeon
I’ve learned to kiss the wave that throws us upon the Rock of Ages.

Imitate My Life – Charles Spurgeon
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9 ESV) – It is well when a man can with advantage be so minutely copied as Paul might have been. Oh, for grace to imitate him this day and every day!
