More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will, but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumptions, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't just throw the seed at the people! Grind it into flour, bake it into bread, and slice it for them. And it wouldn't hurt to put a little honey on it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God lights the candle, none can blow it out.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When it is the Lord’s work in which we rejoice, we need not be afraid of being too glad.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Oh, the stoop of the Redeemer's amazing love! Let us, henceforth, contend how low we can go side by side with Him, but remember when we have gone to the lowest He descends lower still, so that we can truly feel that the very lowest place is too high for us, because He has gone lower still.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live in such a way that men may recognize that you have been with Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The wicked man, when he dies, is driven to his grave, but the Christian comes to his grave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The doctrines some now preach could not build a mouse-trap.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sin and Hell are married unless repentance proclaims the divorce.

Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
