Charles Spurgeon on Religion

"Everything the Spirit of God does is substance, not shadow. The baseless fabric of a vision is the work of man."

"I would sooner walk in the dark, and hold hard to a promise of my God, than trust in the light of the brightest day that ever dawned."

"God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side."

"Our great object of glorifying God is to be mainly achieved by the winning of souls... Do not close a single sermon without addressing the ungodly."

"The Christian should work as if all depended on him, and pray as if it all depended on God."

"There is no happiness comparable to a complete submergence of self into the glory of God."

"He that buildeth his nest upon a Divine promise shall find it abide and remain until he shall fly away to the land where promises are lost in fulfillments."

"God looketh upon any thing we say, or any thing we do, and if He seeth Christ in it, He accepteth it; but if there be no Christ, He putteth it away as a foul thing."

"There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross-bearers here below."

"I believe that when Paul plants and Apollos waters, God gives the increase; and I have no patience with those who throw the blame on God when it belongs to themselves."

"Only that prayer which comes from our heart can get to God’s heart."

"God is more ready to forgive me than I am ready to offend."

"In nothing shall the glory of God be marred."

"God helps those who cannot help themselves."

"The preacher who neglects to pray much must be very careless about his ministry. He cannot have comprehended his calling. He cannot have computed the value of a soul, or estimated the meaning of eternity."

"Spurgeon's Gems On Prayer"

"If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus."

"Do not wade far out into the dangerous sea of this world's comfort. Take the good that God provides you, but say of it, "It passeth away;" for, indeed, it is but a temporary supply for a temporary need. Never suffer your goods to become your God."

"I think I speak not too strongly when I say that a church in the land without the Spirit of God is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember you stand in somebody else's way; you are a tree bearing no fruit, standing where another fruitful tree might grow."
