More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
A church is a soul-saving company or it is nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All the hope of our ministry lies in the Spirit of God operating on the spirits of men.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Having made Jesus your all, you shall find your all in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would not choose to go where I would be afraid to die, nor could I bear to live without a good hope for hereafter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We know so little about the future that to worry about it would be the height of foolishness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a great joy to believe that Jesus has been tempted in all points just as we are.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You will never be saved against your will God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Stand still - keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, Go forward.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Amusement should be used to do us good “like a medicine”: it must never be used as the food of the man...Many have had all holy thoughts and gracious resolutions stamped out by perpetual trifling. Pleasure so called is the murderer of thought. This is the age of excessive amusement: everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A soul-winner can do nothing without God. He must cast himself on the Invisible, or be a laughing-stock to the devil, who regards with utter disdain all who think to subdue human nature with mere words and arguments.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.
