Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.

More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
He who boasts of being perfect is perfect in folly. I never saw a perfect man. Every rose has its thorns, and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds and faults of some kind nestle in every bosom.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Prayerless souls are Christless souls, Christless souls are Graceless souls and Graceless souls shall soon be damned souls. See your peril, you that neglect altogether the blessed privilege of prayer! You are in the bonds of iniquity, you are in the gall of bitterness. God deliver you, for Hisname's sake!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world in its very essence it is for ever good news.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.
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.

Image
If God lights the candle, none can blow it out.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.

Image
The worst sort of clever men are those who know better than the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
I long for nothing more earnestly than to serve God with all my might.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
You shall find books and sermons everywhere, in the land and in the sea, in the earth and in the skies, and you shall learn from every living beast, and bird, and fish, and insect, and from every useful or useless plant that springs from the ground.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is with us, and His power is around us.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken and when you cannot trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
We are convinced that all of our race who die in infancy partake in the redemption wrought out by our Lord Jesus. Whatever some may think, we believe that the whole spirit and tone of the Word of God, as well as the nature of God Himself, lead us to believe that all who leave this world as babes are saved.

Image
The observant man recognizes many mysteries into which he can not pretend to see, and he remembers that the world is too wide for the eye of one man. But the modern sophists are sure of everything, especially if it contradicts the Bible.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God, we will not!

A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.
