More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.
Charles Spurgeon
See yonder another King's garden, which the King waters with his bloody sweat-Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits. There the mischief of the serpent in the first garden was undone: there the curse was lifted from earth, and borne by the woman's promised seed.
Charles Spurgeon
To think that before the hills were formed, or the channels of the sea were scooped out, God loved me that from everlasting to everlasting His mercy is upon His people. Is not that a consolation?
Charles Spurgeon
Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit, and then, if your daily calling only leaves you cracks and crevices of time, fill them up with holy service.
Charles Spurgeon
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
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
He that reads his Bible to find fault with it will soon discover that the Bible finds fault with him.
Charles Spurgeon
I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
Charles Spurgeon
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
Charles Spurgeon
There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
Charles Spurgeon
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
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
The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.
Charles Spurgeon
Oh my brethren, Bold hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards!
Charles Spurgeon
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.
Charles Spurgeon
We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.
Charles Spurgeon
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Death is the waiting-room where we robe ourselves for immortality.
Charles Spurgeon
