Quote

Stale godliness is ungodliness. Let our religion be as warm, and constant, and natural as the flow of the blood in our veins. A living God must be served in a living way.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The mind of God is greater than all the minds of men, so let all men leave the gospel just as God has delivered it unto us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God knows where every particle of the handful of dust has gone he has marked in his book the wandering of every one of its atoms. He hath death so open before His view, that He can bring all these together, bone to bone, and clothe them with the very flesh that robed them in the days of yore, and make them live again.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The demon of pride was born with us and it will not die one hour before us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Far be it for me to imagine that Zion contains none but Calvinistic Christians within her walls, or that there are none saved who do not hold our views
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christ also takes from us all inclination or power to boast of our national prestige. To me, it is prestige enough to be a Christian--to bear the cross Christ gives me to carry and to follow in the footsteps of the great Crossbearer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church is a soul-saving company or it is nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Where the plow does not go and the seed is not sown, the weeds are sure to multiply.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith and works are bound up in the same bundle. He that obeys God trusts God and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works and he that is without works is without faith.
Charles Spurgeon
