There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.

There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.

Men, Speak, Sin
Charles H. Spurgeon (2012). “The Spurgeon Series 1859 & 1860: Unabridged Sermons In Modern Language”, p.1641, New Leaf Publishing Group

Light physical is said by Solomon to be sweet, but gospel light is infinitely more precious, for it reveals eternal things, and ministers to our immortal natures.

Sweet, Light, Ministers
Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.22, Discovery House

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.

The motive is this, 'Oh! that God could be glorified, that Jesus might see the reward of his sufferings! Oh! that sinners might be saved, so that God might have new tongues to praise him, new hearts to love him! Oh! that sin were put an end to, that the holiness, righteousness, mercy, and power of God might be magnifi ed!' This is the way to pray; when thy prayers seek God's glory, it is God's glory to answer thy prayers.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Jesus, Prayer

This, then, is the doctrine of the resurrection. We do not believe--at least I do not--that law has been rudely violated in one extraordinary and unparalleled episode. We believe that a universal law of life, overmastering death, and always superior to it, has had once a visible witness.

Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!

A sinner can no more repent and believe without the Holy Spirit's aid than he can create a world.

Believe, World, Spirit

But the best argument of all [for evangelism] is to be found in the wounds of Jesus. You want to honor Him, you desire to put many crowns upon His head, and this you can best do by winning souls for Him. These are the spoils that He covets, these are the trophies for which He fights, these are the jewels that shall be His best adornment.

Charles Spurgeon
Jesus, Fighting, Winning

Let your tears fall because of sin, but, at the same time, let the eye of faith steadily behold the Son of man.

Charles Spurgeon
Fall, Eye, Son

The greatest, strongest, mightiest plea for the church of God in the world is the existence of the Spirit of God in its midst, and the works of the Spirit of God are the true evidences of Christianity. They say miracles are withdrawn, but the Holy Spirit is the standing miracle of the church of God to-day.

Charles Spurgeon
Miracle, Church, World
"Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers" by Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, (p. 137), 1895.

I believe that every Christian ought to be joined to some visible church; that is his plain duty, according to the Scriptures. God’s people are not dogs, else they might go about one by one; but they are sheep, and therefore they should be in flocks.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Dog, Believe

There will be no doubt about His having chosen you when you have chosen Him.

Charles Spurgeon
Doubt, Chosen, No Doubt
Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.799, Discovery House

Repentance was never yet produced in any man's heart apart from the grace of God. As soon may you expect the leopard to regret the blood with which its fangs are moistened,—as soon might you expect the lion of the wood to abjure his cruel tyranny over the feeble beasts of the plain, as expect the sinner to make any confession, or offer any repentance that shall be accepted of God, unless grace shall first renew the heart.

Regret, Heart, Men

A friend to everybody is often a friend to nobody, or else in his simplicity he robs his family to help strangers, and becomes brother to a beggar. There is wisdom in generosity, as in everything else.

Charles Spurgeon
Brother, Generosity, Simplicity
Charles Spurgeon (2009). “Essential Works of Charles Spurgeon”, p.1411, Barbour Publishing

There are two sins of men that are bred in the bone and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exultation.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Men, Self

There is a general kind of praying which fails for lack of precision. It is as if a regiment of soldiers should all fire off their guns anywhere. Possibly somebody would be killed, but the majority of the enemy would be missed.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Gun, Fire
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1988). “Spurgeon at His Best: Over 2200 Striking Quotations from the World's Most Exhaustive and Widely-read Sermon Series”, Baker Publishing Group

We cannot all ARGUE, but we can all PRAY; We cannot all be LEADERS, but we can all be PLEADERS; We cannot all be mighty in RHETORIC, but we can all be prevalent in PRAYER.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Leader, Arguing

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
Jesus, Sight, Soul

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
Jesus, Heart, Men

Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.

Charles Spurgeon
Church, Heirlooms, Persecution
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (2016). “Treasury of David”, p.5323, Bible Study Steps

God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?

Charles Spurgeon
Children, Father, Punishment

The resurrection is a fact better attested than any event recorded in any history, whether ancient or modern.

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
Christian, Men, Names

He that can toy with his ministry and count it to be like a trade, or like any other profession, was never called of God. But he that has a charge pressing on his heart, and a woe ringing in his ear, and preaches as though he heard the cried of hell behind him, and saw his God looking down on him-oh, how that man entreats the Lord that his hearers may not hear in vain!
