More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
Some people are never content with their lot, let what will happen. Clouds and darkness are over their heads, alike whether it rain or shine. To them every incident is an accident, and every accident a calamity.
Charles Spurgeon
The goal of prayer is the ear of God.
Charles Spurgeon
I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.
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
A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip
Charles Spurgeon
I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for.
Charles Spurgeon
When filled with holy truth the mind rests.
Charles Spurgeon
I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother.
Charles Spurgeon
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
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
If God lights the candle, none can blow it out.
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
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon
We are convinced that all of our race who die in infancy partake in the redemption wrought out by our Lord Jesus. Whatever some may think, we believe that the whole spirit and tone of the Word of God, as well as the nature of God Himself, lead us to believe that all who leave this world as babes are saved.
Charles Spurgeon
It cannot be that there is a high appreciation of Jesus and a totally silent tongue about him
Charles Spurgeon
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
Charles Spurgeon
Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
It is not a matter of time so much as a matter of heart if you have the heart to pray, you will find the time.
Charles Spurgeon
If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.
Charles Spurgeon
