Charles Spurgeon
The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it.
Charles Spurgeon
The Christian's life should be one of thankfulness to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Don't drown the man who taught you to swim. If you learned your trade or profession from the man, do not set up in opposition to him.
Charles Spurgeon
Some people, when they use the word 'salvation', understand nothing more by it than deliverance from hell and admittance into heaven. Now, that is not salvation: those two things are the effects of salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Since, O sweet Lord Jesus, Thou art the present portion of Thy people, favour us this year with such a sense of Thy preciousness, that from its first to its last day we may be glad and rejoice in Thee. Let January open with joy in the Lord, and December close with gladness in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
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
It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.
Charles Spurgeon
It is the very joy of this earthly life to think that it will come to an end.
Charles Spurgeon
When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner's eyes, and He sees His own dear Son's image there, and He takes him in.
Charles Spurgeon
Mind your till, and till your mind.
Charles Spurgeon
He (Jesus) will reign over you, either by your consent, or without it.
Charles Spurgeon
A little faith will bring your soul to heaven a great faith will bring heaven to your soul.
Charles Spurgeon
Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.
Charles Spurgeon
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Charles Spurgeon
To receive the Word in the ear is one thing, and to receive Jesus into your very soul is quite another.
Charles Spurgeon
The more you read the Bible and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
Charles Spurgeon
Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.
Charles Spurgeon
