More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy, the more humble.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Have your heart right with Christ, and he will visit you often, and so turn weekdays into Sundays, meals into sacraments, homes into temples, and earth into heaven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy. On the sea of life there would be many more wrecks if it were not for the divine storm-signals which give to the watchful a timely warning. The Bible should be our Mentor, our Monitor, our Memento Mori, our Remembrancer, and the Keeper of our Conscience.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Never be afraid of the world's censure it's praise is much more to be dreaded.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is a spiritual commerce with the Creator of heaven and earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is far easier to fight with sin in public than to pray against it in private.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A child's cry touches a father's heart.
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
All places are places of worship to a Christian.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
