Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
It is not the bigness of the words you utter, but the force with which you deliver them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satisfaction with results will be the [death] knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You have need to pray to God, not only to help you in your troubles--but to help you in your blessings
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Backsliders begin with dusty Bibles and end with filthy garments.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He bequeaths us His manger, from which to learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is an unfortunate thing for the Christian to be melancholy. If there is any man in the world that has a right to have a bright, clear face and a flashing eye, it is the man whose sins are forgiven him, who is saved with God's salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Winners of souls must first be weepers for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Saints are described as fearing the name of God they are reverent worshippers they stand in awe of the Lord's authority they are afraid of offending Him they feel their own nothingness in the sight of the Infinite One.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We should shun ingratitude, and live daily in the heavenly atmosphere of thankful love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The only reason why anything virtuous or lively survives in us is this, 'the LORD is there' (Ez. 35:10)
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The demon of pride was born with us and it will not die one hour before us.
