More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Delayed answers to prayer are not only trials of faith they also give us opportunities to honor God through our steadfast confidence in Him, even when facing the apparent denial of our request.
Charles Spurgeon
You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Darkness is the fit hour for beasts of prey, and ignorance the natural dwelling place of cruelty.
Charles Spurgeon
When facing the apparent denial of my request, God gave me the opportunity to honor him by trusting His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
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.
Charles Spurgeon
If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?
Charles Spurgeon
You will never be saved against your will God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.
Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon
Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and re-read them...digest them...a student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by 20 books he has merely skimmed.
Charles Spurgeon
If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
Charles Spurgeon
They who seek Christ are already being sought of him.
Charles Spurgeon
This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry the cloud is black before it breaks, and overshadows before it yields its deluge of mercy. Depression has now become to me as a prophet in rough clothing, a John the Baptist, heralding the nearer coming of my Lord's richer benison
Charles Spurgeon
A sheep in the midst of wolves is safe compared with the Christian in the midst of ungodly men.
Charles Spurgeon
No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.
Charles Spurgeon
Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”
Charles Spurgeon
