If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the best attested facts on record. There were so many witnesses to behold it, that if we do in the least degree receive the credibility of men's testimonies, we cannot and we dare not doubt that Jesus rose from the dead.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Song of God and Son of Man, there He hangs, bearing pains unutterable, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
They must be slain by the Law before they can be made alive by the gospel.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had only one more sermon to preach before I died, it would be about my Lord Jesus Christ. And I think that when we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From the Word of God I gather that damnation is all of man, from top to bottom, and salvation is all of grace, from first to last. He that perishes chooses to perish but he that is saved is saved because God has chosen to save him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all damaged goods in recovery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Free grace can go into the gutter, and bring up a jewel!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would as soon pray to God with machinery as to sing to God with machinery.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayerless souls are Christless souls, Christless souls are Graceless souls and Graceless souls shall soon be damned souls. See your peril, you that neglect altogether the blessed privilege of prayer! You are in the bonds of iniquity, you are in the gall of bitterness. God deliver you, for Hisname's sake!
