More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The love of Jesus is the source of salvation. He loves, he looks, he touches us, we live.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Soul-serving requires a heart that beats hard against the ribs. It requires a soul full of the milk of human kindness. This is the sine qua non of success.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When God's mercies are coming, their footfalls are our desires to pray.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our motto is, With God, anywhere: without God, nowhere.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.

Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You'll never be a winner of souls unless you're first a weeper for souls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarecely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sermon often does a man most good when it makes him most angry. Those people who walk down the aisles and say, I will never hear that man again, very often have an arrow rankling in their breast.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the thermometer of grace.

Image
Remember, Christ's scholars must study upon their knees.
