Quote

I cannot agree with those who say that they have 'new truth' to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God himself.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
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
Image
Sin is sovereign till sovereign grace dethrones it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Christians are not so much in danger when they are persecuted as when they are admired.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The wicked man, when he dies, is driven to his grave, but the Christian comes to his grave.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight she may pass through her fiery furnace, but Christ is in the midst of the flame with her.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is the whole business of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no form of sinfulness to which you are addicted which Christ cannot remove.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would as soon pray to God with machinery as to sing to God with machinery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who is surety is never sure himself. Take advice, and never be security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the word of the wise man: He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it and he that hateth suretyship is sure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder and real worship for when the soul is overwhelmed with the majesty of God's glory, though it may not express itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head and humble prayer, yet it silently adores.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The friend of God must not spend a day without God, and he must undertake no work apart from his God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all of my years of service to my Lord, I have discovered a truth that has never failed and has never been compromised. That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out-give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.

Never be afraid of your Bibles.

Be assured, there is nothing new in theology except that which is false.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.
Charles Spurgeon

The only reason why anything virtuous or lively survives in us is this, 'the LORD is there' (Ez. 35:10)
