Charles (CH) Spurgeon

We need the Spirit – Charles Spurgeon

Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.

– Charles Spurgeon –

The testimony of the Church – Charles Spurgeon

In proportion as a church is holy, in that proportion will its testimony for Christ be powerful.

Presumed Salvation – Charles Spurgeon

If thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

– Charles Spurgeon –

Believe God – Charles Spurgeon

If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem be against us, we do not believe Him at all.

– Charles Spurgeon –

Christ’s hold of you – Charles Spurgeon

What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you!

– Charles Spurgeon –

Condition of the Church – Charles Spurgeon

The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer.
