Quote

Repentance and faith are distasteful to the unregenerate they would sooner repeat a thousand formal prayers than shed a solitary tear of true repentance.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Home is the grandest of all institutions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

Image
It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There may be some sins of which a man cannot speak, but there is no sin which the blood of Christ cannot wash away.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I have noticed that whenever a person gives up his belief in the Word of God because it requires that he should believe a good deal, his unbelief requires him to believe a great deal more. If there be any difficulties in the faith of Christ, they are not one-tenth as great as the absurdities in any system of unbelief which seeks to take its place.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Sincere repentance is continual. Believers repent until their dying day. This dropping well is not intermittent.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not the strength of your faith that saves you, but the strength of Him upon whom you rely! Christ is able to save you if you come to Him-be your faith weak or be it strong.

Image
If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.

Trials teach us what we are.

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
If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
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
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satan always hates Christian fellowship it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.
