More quotes by Charles Spurgeon

Image
God is to be praised with the voice, and the heart should go therewith in holy exultation.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
No man can do me a truer kindness in this world than to pray for me.
Charles Spurgeon
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
The world's one and only remedy is the cross.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no physician like Him, none can save as He can we love Him, and He loves us, and therefore we put ourselves into His hands.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God has given no pledge which He will not redeem, and encouraged no hope which He will not fulfill.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Leave Christ out? O my brethren, better leave the pulpit out altogether. If a man can preach one sermon without mentioning Christ’s name in it, it ought to be his last, certainly the last that any Christian ought to go to hear him preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The Lord's people have always been a waiting people.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.

Image
A child's cry touches a father's heart.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He bequeaths us His manger, from which to learn how God came down to man, and His cross to teach us how man may go up to God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
See yonder another King's garden, which the King waters with his bloody sweat-Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits. There the mischief of the serpent in the first garden was undone: there the curse was lifted from earth, and borne by the woman's promised seed.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Pleasure, so called, is the murderer of serious thought. This is the age of excessive amusement. Everybody craves for it, like a babe for its rattle!
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If you simply take the name of Christ upon you and call yourself His servant, yet do not obey Him, but follow your own whim, or your own hereditary prejudice, or the custom of some erroneous church-you are no servant of Christ. If you really are a servant of Christ, your first duty is to obey Him.
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
If we do wrong and no harm comes of it, we are not thereby justified. If we did evil and good came of it, the evil would be just as evil. It is not the result of the action, but the action itself which God weighs.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The change is radical it gives us new natures, it makes us love what we hated and hate what we loved, it sets us in a new road it makes our habits different, it makes our thoughts different, it makes us different in private, and different in public.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
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.
