More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
Pleasure, so called, is the murderer of serious thought. This is the age of excessive amusement. Everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Gospel is like a caged lion you don't have to defend it - just let it out of the cage.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The most useful members of a church are usually those who would be doing harm if they were not doing good.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Remember that thought is speech before God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is truly great in who hath power over himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The worst evils of life are those which do not exist except in our imagination.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.

How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christian Church have had a decided tendency to dishonor God and to flatter man.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not the strength of your faith that saves you, but the strength of Him upon whom you rely! Christ is able to save you if you come to Him-be your faith weak or be it strong.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all and the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it. Still, imperfect as it is, it is the dearest place on earthto us.

Image
It seems to me that doubt is worse than trial. I had sooner suffer any affliction than be left to question the gospel or my own interest in it.
