Charles Spurgeon

“Behold, at this hour our moral history is being preserved for eternity. Processes are at work which will perpetuate our every act and word and thought.”

“There is no injustice in the grace of God. God is as just when He forgives a believer as when He casts a sinner into hell.”

“O God, we praise Thee for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that Thou wilt never let us go.”

“Let it be our delight to find our society in the circle of which Jesus is the center, and let us make those our friends who are the friends of Jesus.”

“I do not doubt that we would become more useful if we praised God more, and others would join us, for they would see that God has blessed us.”

“A man will speedily sit down and sympathize with a friend's griefs, but if he sees him honored and esteemed, he is apt to regard him as a rival and does not so readily rejoice with him. This ought not to be; without effort, we ought to be happy in our brother's happiness.”

“Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!”

“Has Jesus saved me? I dare not speak with any hesitation here; I know He has. His Word is true; therefore, I am saved.”

“I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.”

“All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.”

“If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith.”

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

“The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.”

“Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.”

“Do I live as carelessly and worldly as unbelievers while professing to be a follower of Jesus? If so, I am exposing Christianity to ridicule and leading people to speak evil of the holy name by which I am called.”
