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.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon
If you are saved, the work is only half done until you are employed to bring others to Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
When your will is God's will, you will have your will.
Charles Spurgeon
The devil never tempted a man whom he found judiciously employed.
Charles Spurgeon
The Lord's people have always been a waiting people.
Charles Spurgeon
Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.
Charles Spurgeon
If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.
Charles Spurgeon
Oh, without prayer what are the church's agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man's arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man's eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
Charles Spurgeon
Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarecely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.
Charles Spurgeon
I would as soon pray to God with machinery as to sing to God with machinery.
Charles Spurgeon
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Charles Spurgeon
I live in Jesus, on Jesus, with Jesus, and soon hope to be perfectly conformed to His likeness.
Charles Spurgeon
Calvinism did not spring from Calvin. We believe that it sprang from the great Founder of all truth.
Charles Spurgeon
You will never be saved against your will God drags nobody to heaven by the ears.
Charles Spurgeon
Must is a hard nut to crack, but it has a sweet kernel.
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
We declare, upon Scriptural authority, that the human will is so desperately set on mischief, so depraved, and so inclined to everything that is evil, and so disinclined to everything that is good, that without the powerful, supernatural, irresistible influence of the Holy Spirit, no human will ever be constrained towards Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God. A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp Him, He could not be infinite. If we could understand Him, He could not be divine.
Charles Spurgeon
Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.
Charles Spurgeon
What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
Charles Spurgeon
