More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.
Charles Spurgeon
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
Charles Spurgeon
There are two great truths which from this platform I have proclaimed for many years. The first is that salvation is free to every man who will have it the second is that God gives salvation to a people whom He has chosen and these truths are not in conflict with each other in the least degree.
Charles Spurgeon
He who have two grounds of trust is lost!
Charles Spurgeon
I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until the very essence of the Bible flows from you.
Charles Spurgeon
Scripture is like a lion. Who ever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose it will defend itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Fiery trials make golden Christians.
Charles Spurgeon
The best worship that we ever render to God is far from perfect. Our praises, how faint and feeble they are! Our prayers, how wandering, how wavering they are! When we get nearest to God, how far off we are! When we are most like Him, how greatly unlike Him we are!
Charles Spurgeon
The full he empties, and the empty he fills.
Charles Spurgeon
I believe that many professing Christians are cold and uncomfortable because they are doing nothing for their Lord but if they actively served him, their blood would begin to circulate spiritually, and it would be well with them.
Charles Spurgeon
Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.
Charles Spurgeon
Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it.
Charles Spurgeon
A sheep in the midst of wolves is safe compared with the Christian in the midst of ungodly men.
Charles Spurgeon
Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God, we will not!
Charles Spurgeon
The moment the church of God shall despise the pulpit, God will despise her.
Charles Spurgeon
Don't you know that day dawns after night, showers displace drought, and spring and summer follow winter? Then, have hope! Hope forever, for God will not fail you!
Charles Spurgeon
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
John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.
Charles Spurgeon
Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.
Charles Spurgeon
