More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.
Charles Spurgeon
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
I have heard of some good old woman in a cottage, who had nothing but a piece of bread and a little water, and lifting up her hands, she said, as a blessing, What! all this, and Christ too?
Charles Spurgeon
It is a reading age, a preaching age, a working age, but it is not a praying age.
Charles Spurgeon
Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
Charles Spurgeon
We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.
Charles Spurgeon
Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus humility, happiness, and holiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Six feet of dirt make all men equal.
Charles Spurgeon
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
Men will never be great in theology until they are great in suffering.
Charles Spurgeon
Let no knowledge satisfy but that which lifts above the world, which weans from the world, which makes the world a footstool.
Charles Spurgeon
Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.
Charles Spurgeon
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
You need not to know much about Heaven-it is where Christ is, and that is Heaven enough for us.
Charles Spurgeon
The doctrines some now preach could not build a mouse-trap.
Charles Spurgeon
Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that in public worship we should do well to be bound by no human rules, and constrained by no stereotyped order.
Charles Spurgeon
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
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
