More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Some people like to read so many [Bible] chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up in your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Thankfulness makes much of little.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is to acknowledge you are wiser today.

Every generation needs regeneration
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!

Faith is the fountain, the foundation and the fosterer of obedience.

Image
Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible you open its cage and let it roar.

Image
Without Christ there is no hope.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He (Jesus) will reign over you, either by your consent, or without it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord Jesus is a deep sea of joy my soul shall dive therein, shall be swallowed up in the delights of his society.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon 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 now doing for me. Hallelujah!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior.
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
There cannot be heaven without Christ. He is the sum total of bliss the fountain from which heaven flows, the element of which heaven is composed. Christ is heaven and heaven is Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we pretend that we are seeking.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and re-read them...digest them...a student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by 20 books he has merely skimmed.

Image
Said will be a little ahead, but done should follow at his heel.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.
