Quote

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.

Image
The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian Church have had a decided tendency to dishonor God and to flatter man.
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
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
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That is a great mistake, for praying is a saving of time.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot have Christ, if you will not serve Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It needs more skill than I can tell To play the second fiddle well.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy, the more humble.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we believe that God hears us, it is but natural that we should be eager to hear Him. Only from Him can come the word which can speak peace to troubled spirits the voices of men are feeble in such a case, a plaster far too narrow for the sore but God's voice is power, He speaks and it is done, and hence when we hear Him our distress is ended.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fine music without devotion is but a splendid garment upon a corpse.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All the hope of our ministry lies in the Spirit of God operating on the spirits of men.
