C.H. Spurgeon Quotes | 1834-1892

Idolaters

Charles Spurgeon — Sat, 18 May 2013 08:00:33 +0000

“If you love anything better than God you are idolaters: if there is anything you would not give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol, and conversion means a turning from every idol.”

The Tension Of The Will And Predestination

Charles Spurgeon — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:00:59 +0000

“The grace of God constrains men to become Christians, and yet only constrains them consistently with the laws of their mind. The freedom of the will is as great a truth as the predestination of God. The grace of God, without violating our wills, makes men willing in the day of God’s power, and they give themselves to Jesus Christ. You cannot be a Christian against your will. How could it be? A servant of God against his will! A child of God against his will! Nay, it never was so, and it never shall be so.”

No Compulsion

Charles Spurgeon — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:00:13 +0000

“Mark that in the father’s drawing there is no compulsion whatever; Christ never compelled any man to come to him against his will. If a man be unwilling to be saved, Christ does not save him against his will.”

Spurgeon’s Sense Of Humor

Charles Spurgeon — Wed, 15 May 2013 08:00:51 +0000

“A man says to me, “Can you explain the seven trumpets of the Revelation?” No, but I can blow one in your ear, and warn you to escape from the wrath to come.”

Sanctified Humor

Charles Spurgeon — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:00:50 +0000

“There is not one part of a man’s constitution, which is really a part of his manhood, which should not praise God. Ay, even the sense of humor should be sanctified to the service of the Most High!”

Humility

Charles Spurgeon — Mon, 13 May 2013 08:00:44 +0000

“God comes into our heart—He finds it full—He begins to break our comforts and make it empty; then there is more room for grace. The humbler a man lies, the more comfort he will always have because he will be more fitted to receive it.”

Riper

Charles Spurgeon — Sun, 12 May 2013 08:00:09 +0000

“With the teaching of the Holy Spirit, every year’s experience will make the Christian riper, yet without that teaching it is possible that each year may make a Christian not more ripe, but more rotten.”

Holiness Is Salvation

Charles Spurgeon — Sat, 11 May 2013 08:00:43 +0000

“Holiness is another name for salvation—to be delivered from the power of self-will, the domination of evil lusts and the tyranny of Satan—this is salvation.”

Seek Not…

Charles Spurgeon — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:00:52 +0000

“Seek not, therefore, after visions, fancies, miracles, signs, and wonders, but believe when God speaks to your heart, according to all the statutes and testimonies, the precepts and promises, which are contained in the sure word of revelation.”

The Dangers Of The Charismatic Movement

Charles Spurgeon — Thu, 09 May 2013 08:00:18 +0000

“Some, I know, fall into a very vicious habit, which habit they excuse in themselves—namely, that of ordering their steps according to impressions. Every now and then I met with people whom I think to be rather weak in the head, who will journey from place to place, and will perform follies by the gross under the belief that they are doing the will of God, because some silly whim of their diseased brains is imagined to be an inspiration from above.”
