More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Doubts about the fundamentals of the gospel exist in certain churches, I am told, to a large extent. My dear friends, where there is a warm-hearted church, you do not hear of them. I never saw a fly light on a red-hot plate.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Lost! Lost! Lost! Better a whole world on fire than a soul lost! Better every star quenched and the skies a wreck than a single soul to be lost!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't you know that day dawns after night, showers displace drought, and spring and summer follow winter? Then, have hope! Hope forever, for God will not fail you!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Unless you have forgiven others you read your own death warrant when you repeat the Lord's Prayer
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God. A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp Him, He could not be infinite. If we could understand Him, He could not be divine.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Far be it for me to imagine that Zion contains none but Calvinistic Christians within her walls, or that there are none saved who do not hold our views
Charles Spurgeon
Image
This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Repentance will not make you see Christ but to see Christ will give you repentance.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Brethren, who are we that God should have been so good to us?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Death has no sting to a Believer. Once death was the penalty of sin-sin being forgiven, the penalty ceases and Christians do not die, now, as a punishment for their sin, but they die that they may be prepared to live!
