Quote

I know nothing that can so comfort the soul, so calm the swelling billows of grief and sorrow, so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
It is not faith in Christ that saves you (though faith is the instrument) - it is Christ's blood and merits.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The religion of both Old and New Testaments is marked by fervent outspoken testimonies against evil. To speak smooth things in such a case may be sentimentalism, but it is not Christianity. It is a betrayal of the cause of truth and righteousness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Thankfulness makes much of little.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The divine service is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.
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
We must teach plainly that the faith which saves the soul is not a dead faith, but a faith which operates with purifying effect upon our entire nature, and produces in us fruits of righteousness to the praise and glory of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When I am weak then am I strong, Grace is my shield and Christ my Song.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He who does not long to know more of Christ, knows nothing of him yet.
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We must meditate, brothers. These grapes will yield no wine we tread upon it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Nothing makes a man so virtuous as belief of the truth. A lying doctrine will soon beget a lying practice. A man cannot have an erroneous belief without by-and-by having an erroneous life. I believe the one thing naturally begets the other.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not all darkness in a heart which can cry, My God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When you speak of heaven, let your face light up let it be irradiated by a heavenly gleam let your eyes shine with reflected glory. But when you speak of hell, your ordinary expression will do.
