Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God. We know not what prayer can do.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
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
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
We know so little about the future that to worry about it would be the height of foolishness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith never makes herself her own plea, she rests all her argument upon the blood of Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Blood, always precious, is priceless when it streams from Immanuel's side.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness.
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
Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for himself.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man in the morning till you have looked into the face of 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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man is really saved unless he is in his heart obedient to Christ.
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
Sin is no little thing. It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced his heart . . . Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be ‘exceeding sinful’.
Charles Spurgeon
