Quote

Oh, the hard, cruel thoughts which men have toward one another when they are angry! They kill and slay a thousand times over. These hasty sins are soon forgotten by us, but they are not forgotten by God.

More quotes by 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
God works, and therefore we work God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Because God is the living God, He can hear because He is a loving God, He will hear because He is our covenant God, He has bound Himself to hear.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.

God's thoughts of you are many, let not yours be few in return.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
That religion which costs a man nothing is usually worth nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Conflicts bring experience and experience brings that growth in Grace which is not to be attained by any other means!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I believe a very large majority of church goers are merely unthinking, slumbering worshipers of an unknown 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
Image
...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

Image
You say, 'On the off chance that I had somewhat more, I ought to be exceptionally fulfilled.' You commit an error. On the off chance that you are not content with what you have, you would not be fulfilled in the event that it were multiplied.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To be forgiven is such sweetness that honey is tasteless in comparison with it. But yet there is one thing sweeter still, and that is to forgive. As it is more blessed to give than to receive, so to forgive rises a stage higher in experience than to be forgiven.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.

Image
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.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Man loves his own ruin. The cup is so sweet that though he knows it will poison him, yet he must drink it. And the harlot is so fair, that though he understands that her ways lead down to hell, yet like a bullock he follows to the slaughter till the dart goes through his liver. Man is fascinated and bewitched by sin.

Image
If I were a Roman Catholic, I should turn a heretic, in sheer desperation, because I would rather go to heaven than go to purgatory.

None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.

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

A holy life is in itself a wonderful power, and will make up for many deficiencies it is in fact the best sermon a man can ever deliver.

Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and re-read them...digest them...a student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by 20 books he has merely skimmed.
