More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
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
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
The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'

Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who is deeply discontented with himself is probably growing fast into the full likeness of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, Don't be a minister if you can help it, because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
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
I know nothing that can so comfort the soul, so calm the swelling billows of grief and sorrow, so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy.

Image
Prayer is the best response to hatred.

Wash your face every morning in a bath of praise.
