More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.
Charles Spurgeon
The glory of the salvation of souls belongs to God, and to Him alone.
Charles Spurgeon
You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.
Charles Spurgeon
Remember that thought is speech before God.
Charles Spurgeon
The most useful members of a church are usually those who would be doing harm if they were not doing good.
Charles Spurgeon
Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation.
Charles Spurgeon
We shall not grow weary of waiting upon God if we remember how long and how graciously He once waited for us.
Charles Spurgeon
We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.
Charles Spurgeon
There are, in truth, but two denominations upon this earth: the Church and the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.
Charles Spurgeon
Unbelief is the mother of vice it is the parent of sin and, therefore, I say it is a pestilent evil-a master sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Give me great sinners to make great saints! They are glorious raw material for Grace to work upon and when you do get them saved, they will shake the very gates of Hell!
Charles Spurgeon
Birds sing on a bare bough O, believer, canst not thou?
Charles Spurgeon
It is a very solemn delusion when ministers think they are prospering, and yet do not hear of conversions.
Charles Spurgeon
God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
Man's wonder grows with his knowledge.
Charles Spurgeon
Praise is the Rehearsal of Our eternal Song By Grace We learn to Sing, and in Glory We Continue to Sing.
Charles Spurgeon
A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.
Charles Spurgeon
If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.
Charles Spurgeon
