Quotations and sayings

01c. 1863 AD

If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.

Charles Spurgeon / quote

02c. 1863 AD

In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?

Charles Spurgeon / quote

03c. 1863 AD

Young men, trust God, and make the future bright with blessing. Old men, trust God, and magnify him for all the mercies of the past.

Charles Spurgeon / quote

04c. 1863 AD

Charles Spurgeon / quote

Charles Spurgeon / quote

07c. 1863 AD

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

Charles Spurgeon / quote
