C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) was England's best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century. In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861 the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

LIARS, CONVERSION OF

Your deeply lying character—I will not say that it is beyond the power of grace to save him, but I will say this, it is the rarest thing under heaven for a man who has long been a liar ever to be converted. 1517.64 I would not wish to assert as a general rule that which happens to be the result of m...

LIFE, BREVITY OF

How well should those live who are to live so little! TD39:5 Here is the history of the grass—sown, grown, blown, mown, gone; and the history of man is not much more. TD90:6 Remember you are a part of a great procession which is always moving by; others come and go before your own eyes, you see them... Read More

LISTENING

People in deep trouble like somebody to hear them all through: even little children are comforted by telling mother all about it. We are in such a hurry with poor troubled spirits that we hasten them on to the end of the sentence, and try to make them skip the dreary details. But to them this seems ... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

LORD’S DAY, THE

God has, in great mercy, given us a day, one day in seven, wherein to rest, and to think of holy things. There were seven days that God had in the week. He said, “Take six, and use them in your business.” No, we must have the seventh as well. It is as if one, upon the road, saw a poor man in distres... Read More

LORD’S SUPPER, THE

I do trust, dear friends, that in a very short time we shall celebrate the Lord’s Supper every Sabbath-day. I am convinced that a weekly celebration is Scriptural, and I see more and more the need of it. 532.549 There can be no doubt about the death of Christ, because through long ages all history b...

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

LOSS

He has received God to be his treasure, and his heart and his treasure too he has sent on ahead. On the other side of the river all his joys and all his treasures are to be found. Here he looks upon his earthly joys as things that are lent him—borrowed comforts. If his children die, he does not wond... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

LOST

The tremendous fact of man’s utter ruin is the underlying cause of the necessity for grace to seek out its object. If the fall had not been so complete in its ruin, there had been no need to seek us, for we should have sought the Lord. This, however, is the gloomy truth, that we are altogether becom... Read More

LOVE FOR GOD

Love to God will help a man to persevere in service when otherwise he would have given up his work. AM195 Nothing gives Christ greater delight than the love of His people. GS200 Love is an exotic; it is not a plant which will flourish naturally in human soil, it must be watered from above. Love to J... Read More

PURPOSE OF LAW

Take away all thought that God sees and hears, and you have removed the underlying basis upon which morality itself is to be built up. A godless world is a lawless world. Anarchy comes in when the fear of God goes out; and all the mischiefs that you can imagine, and much more, rush in like a flood. ... Read More

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

SINFUL

Ambition is like the sea which swallows all the rivers and is none the fuller; or like the grave whose insatiable maw for ever craves for the bodies of men. It is not like an amphora, which being full receives no more, but its fulness swells it till a still greater vacuum is formed. In all probabili... Read More
