Need Faith to be Useful – Charles Spurgeon

“According to your faith be it unto you.”(Matt 9:29)  It is essential, then, that we should have faith if we are to be useful, and that we should have great faith if we are to be greatly useful.

As to the Lord, Not to Men – Charles Spurgeon

Whether we are servants or masters, whether we are poor or rich, let us take this as our watch-word, “As to the Lord, and not to men.” Henceforth may this be the engraving of our seal and the motto of our coat-of-arms; the constant rule of our life and the sum of our motive.

Scripture Reading is our Spiritual Mealtime – Charles Spurgeon

Scripture reading is our spiritual meal-time. Sound the gong and call in every faculty to the Lord’s own table to feast upon the precious meat which is now to be partaken of; or, rather, ring the church bell as for worship, for the studying of the Holy Scripture ought to be as solemn a deed as when we sing the hymns upon the Sabbath day in the courts of Lord’s house.

The Lord Will Provide – Charles Spurgeon

Onward, soldiers of the cross, where Jesus has led the way. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath you are the everlasting arms. You are not called upon to go a warfare at your own charges, neither are you left alone in the battle: the banner which waves over you bears the soul-assuring motto, “Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord will provide.”

We Preach Christ – Charles Spurgeon

The motto of all true servants of God must be, “We preach Christ; and him crucified.” A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.
