More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The religion of both Old and New Testaments is marked by fervent outspoken testimonies against evil. To speak smooth things in such a case may be sentimentalism, but it is not Christianity. It is a betrayal of the cause of truth and righteousness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The wicked man, when he dies, is driven to his grave, but the Christian comes to his grave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is the holy reasoning of love it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing can be more sublime this side of heaven than the singing of this noble Psalm by a vast congregation. It is all ablaze with grateful adoration.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I am not today all that I hope to be, yet I see Jesus, and that assures me that I shall one day be like Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The man who finds the ministry an easy life will also find that it will bring a hard death.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never lose heart in the power of the gospel. Do not believe that there exists any man, much less any race of men, for whom the gospel is not fitted.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's children are God's children anywhere and everywhere, and shall be even unto the end. Nothing can sever that sacred tie, or divide us from his heart.
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
Never fear dying, beloved. Dying is the last, but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about. Fear living...that is a hard battle to fight, a stern discipline to endure, a rough voyage to undergo.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place... Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace... The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot's power.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy law.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.
