More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
As for His failing you, never dream of it -- hate the thought of it. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Though you have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is ready to cleanse you, It is sin, after all, that lies at the door and blocks you way to the Savior.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are no infidels anywhere but on earth: there are none in heaven, and there are none in hell. Atheism is a strange thing. Even the devils never fell into that vice, for the devils believe and tremble. And there are some of the devil's children that have gone beyond their father in sin, but how will it look when they are for ever lost?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer must not be our chance work but our daily business, our habit and vocation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God notices every one of us there is not a sparrow or a worm that continues to live apart from His decrees.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Love to Jesus is the basis of all true piety, and the intensity of this love will ever be the measure of our zeal for His glory. Let us love Him with all our hearts, and then diligent labor, and consistent living will be sure to follow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If when I get to heaven the Lord shall say to me, Spurgeon, I want you to preach for all eternity, I would reply, Lord, give me a Bible, that is all I need.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If God lights the candle, none can blow it out.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Winners of souls must first be weepers for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never try to live on the old manna, nor seek to find help in Egypt. All must come from Jesus or thou art undone forever. Old anointings will not suffice to impart unction to thy spirit thine head must have fresh oil poured upon it from the golden horn of the sanctuary, or it will cease from its glory.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house, but an inn, in which we sup and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow.
