More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Shall I give you yet another reason why you should pray? I have preached my very heart out. I could not say any more than I have said. Will not your prayers accomplish that which my preaching fails to do? Is it not likely that the Church has been putting forth its preaching hand but not its praying hand? Oh dear friends! Let us agonize in prayer.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not responsible to God for the soul that are saved, but we are responsible for the Gospel that is preached, and for the way in which we preach it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and thine own soul shall be refreshed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would not choose to go where I would be afraid to die, nor could I bear to live without a good hope for hereafter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we come to the end of self we come to the beginning of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed and let my motto be, Ready for either.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Before you can teach children, you must get the silver key of kindness to unlock their hearts, and so secure their attention.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Holiness is the architectural plan upon which God buildeth up His living temple.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To-morrow even may bring the final reckoning.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Anything which you have in this world, which you do not consecrate to Christ's cause, you do rob the Lord of.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The law shows the distance that exists between God and man the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't just throw the seed at the people! Grind it into flour, bake it into bread, and slice it for them. And it wouldn't hurt to put a little honey on it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.
