More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Good thoughts are blessed guests, and should be heartily welcomed, well fed, and much sought after. Like rose leaves, they give out a sweet smell if laid up in the jar of memory.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All the hope of our ministry lies in the Spirit of God operating on the spirits of men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hang that question up in your houses, What would Jesus do? and then think of another, How would Jesus do it? for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems great but it is not so. We are not far from home-a moment will bring us there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man is really saved unless he is in his heart obedient to Christ.
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
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It has been well said that if a great king should bring us a great heap of gold, and bid us take as much as we could count in a day, we should make a long day of it but to win souls is far nobler work. How is it that we so soon withdraw from it?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No matter how good you think yourself to be, you cannot enter heaven unless it is under the terms of sovereign grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From the descent of the Holy Spirit at the beginning we may learn something concerning His operations at the present time. Remember at the outset that whatever the Holy Spirit was at the first, He is that now, for as God, He remains forever the same-whatever He did then He is able to do still, for His power is by no means diminished.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who is surety is never sure himself. Take advice, and never be security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the word of the wise man: He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it and he that hateth suretyship is sure.

True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.

Image
None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.

Winners of souls must first be weepers for souls.
