More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The more of heaven there is in our lives, the less of earth we shall covet.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
Charles Spurgeon
Image
One might better try to sail the Atlantic in a paper boat, than try to get to heaven on good works.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Does the world satisfy thee? Then thou hast thy reward & portion in this life make much of it, for thou shalt know no other joy
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no fatigue so wearisome as that which comes from lack of work.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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
Image
And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hope sees a crown in reserve, mansions in readiness, and Jesus Himself preparing a place for us, and by the rapturous sight she sustains the soul under the sorrows of the hour.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Christian is the most contented man in the world, but he is the least contented with the world.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can put on the robes of Christ’s righteousness till he has taken off his own.
Charles Spurgeon

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

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.
