More quotes by 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
You may readily judge whether you are a child of God or a hypocrite by seeing in what direction your soul turns in seasons of severe trial. The hypocrite flies to the world and finds a sort of comfort there. But the child of God runs to his Father and expects consolation only from the Lord's hand.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Satisfaction with results will be the [death] knell of progress. No man is good who thinks that he cannot be better. He has no holiness who thinks that he is holy enough.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is to acknowledge you are wiser today.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As a church we must love Jesus, or else we have lost our reason for existence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place... Let the Bible be opened to be read by all men, and no tyrant can long rule in peace... The religion of Jesus makes men think, and to make men think is always dangerous to a despot's power.

All places are places of worship to a Christian.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am not the only one that condemns the idle for once when I was going to give our minister a pretty long list of the sins of one of our people that he was asking after, I began with, He's dreadfully lazy. That's enough, said the old gentleman all sorts of sins are in that one.
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
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be cast down is often the best thing that can happen to us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The assurance of every truth of Scripture is just the beauty of it. First because He has promised to do it and God's promises are bonds that never yet were dishonored. Secondly, because Christ Jesus hath taken an oath that He will do it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God looketh upon any thing we say, or any thing we do, and if He seeth Christ in it, He accepteth it but if there be no Christ, He putteth it away as a foul thing.
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
It is not the bigness of the words you utter, but the force with which you deliver them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
An unkind heart is the worst. It is a plague to its possessor, and a torment to those around him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no other salvation except that which begins and ends with grace.
