“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.

Going Through the Motions? – Charles Spurgeon
The very posture of some people indicates that they are going through the hymn, but the hymn is not going through their hearts.

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.

Rejoice in the Lord – Charles Spurgeon
Did you rejoice in the Lord this morning when you woke? It is very sweet to wake up and hear the birds singing within your heart, but you cannot maintain that joy, no not even for an hour, no matter what you do. ‘All my springs are in thee’ (Psalm 87:7), my God, and if I am to joy and rejoice, You must anoint me continually with ‘the oil of gladness’ (Psalm 45:7).

Preach with Fire – Charles Spurgeon
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
