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.

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
Prayer, Men, Shining
Spurgeon, Charles H. (2015). “The Complete Works of Charles Spurgeon, Volume 86: The Sword and the Trowel, Volume 7”, p.129, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

If there existed only one man or woman who did not love the Saviour, and if that person lived among the wilds of Siberia, and if it were necessary that all the millions of believers on the face of the earth should journey there, and every one of them plead with him to come to Jesus before he could be converted, it would be well worth all the zeal, labour, and expense. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labour, for a soul is of countless price.

Charles Spurgeon
Jesus, Journey, Men

If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation. Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey. The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear.

Christian, War, Sleep
Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.209, Discovery House

He is truly great in who hath power over himself.

Charles Spurgeon

The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great; but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house; they have not gone far off; they are upstairs and we are down below.

Charles Spurgeon
Distance, Home, House

Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.

Charles Spurgeon
Sweet, Hands, Doubt
Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Spurgeon's Sermons on the Cross of Christ”, Kregel Academic

Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is, the better.

Charles Spurgeon
True Or False, Apathy, Care

All earthly suns have their spots: the fair world itself has its wilderness. We cannot love the whole of most lovely things: but Christ Jesus is gold without alloy-light without darkness- glory without cloud. 'Yea, He is altogether lovely.'

Charles Spurgeon
Jesus, Clouds, Light
Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.279, Discovery House

A village is a hive of glass, where nothing unobserved can pass.

Charles Spurgeon
Glasses, Society, Village

I have my own opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else.

Nicknames, Opinion, Christ
Charles Spurgeon (2009). “Essential Works of Charles Spurgeon”, p.64, Barbour Publishing

Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.

Thinking, Soul, Suffering
Spurgeon, Charles H. (2015). “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 12: Sermons 668 to 727”, p.216, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

Every time I open my Bible I will read it as the Word of 'God, that cannot lie;' and when I get a promise or a threatening, I will either rejoice or tremble because I know that these stand fast.

Charles Spurgeon
Lying, Promise, Threatening

Mi fe no descansa en lo que soy, o lo que seré, o como me siento, o lo que sé, sino en lo que Cristo és, en lo que él ha hecho, y en lo que él está haciendo en mí - My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me.

Charles Spurgeon
Done, Soy, Christ

Faith pulls the black mask from the face of trouble, and discovers the angel beneath.

Angel, Black, Faces
Charles Spurgeon (2016). “Morning and Evening”, p.1028, Discovery House

When we cannot see the sunshine of God's face, it is blessed to cower down beneath the shadow of his wings.

Charles Spurgeon
Blessed, Sunshine, Wings
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1872). “The treasury of David: containing an original exposition of the Book of psalms”, p.49

The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Grace, Holiness
Spurgeon, Charles H. (2015). “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 14: Sermons 788 to 847”, p.440, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

Christian, beware of thinking lightly of sin. Take heed in case you fall little by little.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Fall, Thinking

John Bunyan, while he had a surpassing genius, would not condescend to cull his language from the garden of flowers; but he went into the hayfield and the meadow, and plucked up his language by the roots, and spoke out in the words that the people used in their cottages.

Charles Spurgeon
Flower, Garden, Roots
Spurgeon, Charles (2015). “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 3: Sermons 107-164”, p.103, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The "divine service" is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.

Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Men, Religion
Charles H. Spurgeon (2016). “Morning & Evening”, p.641, Bible Study Steps

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

Charles Spurgeon
Mom, Mother, Good Mother

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the best attested facts on record. There were so many witnesses to behold it, that if we do in the least degree receive the credibility of men's testimonies, we cannot and we dare not doubt that Jesus rose from the dead.

Charles Spurgeon
Jesus, Life Changing, Men
Spurgeon, Charles (2015). “The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 2: Sermons 54-106”, p.181, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior.

Charles Spurgeon
Thinking, Sin, Savior
Spurgeon, Charles H. (2015). “Charles Spurgeon: An Autobiography”, p.101, Delmarva Publications, Inc.

The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of Him.

Charles Spurgeon
Views, Christ, Superficial

In heaven we shall see that we had not one trial too many.

Charles Spurgeon
Heaven, Trials

True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.

Charles Spurgeon
Moving, Grace, Would Be
Charles H. Spurgeon (2001). “The Soul-Winner”, p.8, Sovereign Grace Publishers,
