I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ's name in it, it ought to be his last.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God does not save men by truth, he certainly will not save them by lies. And if the old gospel is not competent to work a revival, then we will do without the revival.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord's people have always been a waiting people.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You need not to know much about Heaven-it is where Christ is, and that is Heaven enough for us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I will do as much as I can, says one. Any fool can do that. He that believes in Christ does what he cannot do, attempts the impossible, and performs it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
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
Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that knows how to overcome the Lord in prayer, has heaven and earth at his disposal.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A soul-winner can do nothing without God. He must cast himself on the Invisible, or be a laughing-stock to the devil, who regards with utter disdain all who think to subdue human nature with mere words and arguments.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The glory of God's faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Only he is fit to preach who cannot avoid preaching, who feels that woe is upon him unless he preach the gospel
