Do what you believe to be right, and ever hold it for a maxim, that if the skies fall through your doing right, honest men will survive the ruin.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayer pulls the rope below and the great bell rings above in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly. Others give but an occasional pluck at the rope. But he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace for I hope to swim to glory on it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses [of the Bible] all day than rinse my hand in several chapters.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Death has no sting to a Believer. Once death was the penalty of sin-sin being forgiven, the penalty ceases and Christians do not die, now, as a punishment for their sin, but they die that they may be prepared to live!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The devil never tempted a man whom he found judiciously employed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father.

Let me ask you, how many atheists are now in this house? Perhaps not a single one of you would accept the title, and yet, if you live from Monday morning to Saturday night in the same way as you would live if there were no God, you are practical atheists.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When God accepts a sinner, He is, in fact, only accepting Christ. He looks into the sinner's eyes, and He sees His own dear Son's image there, and He takes him in.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
My witness is, that those who are honoured of their Lord in public, have usually to endure a secret chastening, or to carry a peculiar cross, lest by any means they exalt themselves, and fall into the snare of the devil.

I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes

Prayer can never be in excess.

To preach the gospel is to stae every doctrine contained in God's word, and to give every truth its proper prominence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.

We shall not adjust our Bible to the age but before we have done with it, by God’s grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible.

It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is nothing little in God His mercy is like Himself-it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favours and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God.

You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.
