More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.
Charles Spurgeon
The full he empties, and the empty he fills.
Charles Spurgeon
A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.
Charles Spurgeon
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
Charles Spurgeon
God's law is our pleasure when the God of the law is our God.
Charles Spurgeon
To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.
Charles Spurgeon
Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip
Charles Spurgeon
Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
Charles Spurgeon
If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.
Charles Spurgeon
The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.
Charles Spurgeon
Man's words are mere breath, but the word of the Lord is spirit and life.
Charles Spurgeon
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles Spurgeon
You must either give up your sins or give up all hope of heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
The world will never be converted to God unitl Christians cry less and laugh and sing more.
Charles Spurgeon
If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
Charles Spurgeon
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
May gratitude to God permeate my entire life.
Charles Spurgeon
