Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.

Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
– Charles Spurgeon –
If you want that splendid power in prayer, you must remain in loving, living, lasting, conscious, practical, abiding union with the Lord Jesus Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
An unholy church! it is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell’s laughter, heaven’s abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church.
– Charles Spurgeon –
You say, “If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.” You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
– Charles Spurgeon –
True prayer is measured by weight, not by length. A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a fine oration of great length.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Prayer, like the root of a tree, seeks for and finds nutriment; praise, like the fruit, renders a revenue to the owner of the vineyard. Prayer is for ourselves; praise is for God. Let us never be so selfish as to abound in the one and fail in the other.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from Spurgeon on Praise
God helps those who cannot help themselves.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The treasures laid up in Christ Jesus assure us that we are in need of them. God’s supplies are never superfluous, but are meant to meet real needs.
