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
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
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house, but an inn, in which we sup and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you speak of heaven, let your face light up...When you speak of hell well then, your everyday face will do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If it does not glorify Christ, let it not console or please you.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The mind of God is greater than all the minds of men, so let all men leave the gospel just as God has delivered it unto us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing. Go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy! Your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms! And your need is the motive for heavenly goodness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
All good is born in prayer, and all good springs from it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The worst sort of clever men are those who know better than the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more holy, the more humble.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing can be more sublime this side of heaven than the singing of this noble Psalm by a vast congregation. It is all ablaze with grateful adoration.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.
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
Reply implicitly upon the old, old gospel. You need no other nets when you fish for men those your Master has given you are strong enough to hold the little ones. Spread these nets and no others, and you need not fear the fulfillment of His word, 'I will make you fishers of men.'
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight she may pass through her fiery furnace, but Christ is in the midst of the flame with her.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.
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?
