More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
If you simply take the name of Christ upon you and call yourself His servant, yet do not obey Him, but follow your own whim, or your own hereditary prejudice, or the custom of some erroneous church-you are no servant of Christ. If you really are a servant of Christ, your first duty is to obey Him.
Charles Spurgeon
We may expect answers to prayer, and should not be easy without them any more than we should be if we had written a letter to a friend upon important business, and had received no reply.
Charles Spurgeon
Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
Charles Spurgeon
My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!
Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon
I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother.
Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon
Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.
Charles Spurgeon
The devil never tempted a man whom he found judiciously employed.
Charles Spurgeon
Nothing is so sweet as to lie passive in God's hands, and know no will but His.
Charles Spurgeon
The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of Him.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.
Charles Spurgeon
Mi fe no descansa en lo que soy, o lo que seré, o como me siento, o lo que sé, sino en lo que Cristo és, en lo que él ha hecho, y en lo que él está haciendo en mí - My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me.
Charles Spurgeon
Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?
Charles Spurgeon
The demon of pride was born with us and it will not die one hour before us.
Charles Spurgeon
A father's holy life is a rich legacy for his sons.
Charles Spurgeon
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
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
Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.
Charles Spurgeon
Doubts about the fundamentals of the gospel exist in certain churches, I am told, to a large extent. My dear friends, where there is a warm-hearted church, you do not hear of them. I never saw a fly light on a red-hot plate.
Charles Spurgeon
