Quote

To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: Man can do the one--God alone can do the other.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
It has been well said that if a great king should bring us a great heap of gold, and bid us take as much as we could count in a day, we should make a long day of it but to win souls is far nobler work. How is it that we so soon withdraw from it?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I knew I had 25 years left to live, I would spend 20 of them in preparation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God grant, if we must have two eyes, that they may be both clear ones, one the eye of faith wholly fixed on Christ, the other the eye of obedience equally and wholly fixed on the same objective!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am a pilgrim in the world, but at home in my God. In the earth I wander, but in God I dwell in a quiet habitation.
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!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Every man needs a blind eye and a deaf ear, so when people applaud, you'll only hear half of it, and when people salute, you'll only see part of it. Believe only half the praise and half the criticism.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He that reads his Bible to find fault with it will soon discover that the Bible finds fault with him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be a soul winner is the happiest thing in this world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
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
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I cannot agree with those who say that they have 'new truth' to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Where God takes such pains to teach, we ought to be at pains to learn.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy law.
