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.

BIBLE -DIFFICULTIES IN

An old man once said, “For a long period I puzzled myself about the difficulties of Scripture, until at last I came to the resolution that reading the Bible was like eating fish. When I find a difficulty I lay it aside, and call it a bone. Why should I choke on the bone when there is so much nutriti... 阅读更多

BIBLE -GUIDANCE FROM

If my compass always points to the North, I know how to use it; but if it veers to other points of the compass, and I am to judge out of my own mind whether it is right or not, I am as well without the thing as with it. If my Bible is right always, it will lead me right; and as I believe it is so, I... 阅读更多

BIBLE -HATRED FOR

Strange that there should be men so vile as to use the pen-knife of Jehoiakim, to cut passages of the Word, because they are unpalatable. Oh ye who dislike certain portions of the Holy Writ, rest assured that your taste is corrupt, and that God will not stay for your little opinion. Your dislike is ... 阅读更多

BIBLE -ILLUMINATION OF

Use the hammer of diligence, and let the knee of prayer be exercised, and there is not a stony doctrine in revelation which is useful for you to understand, which will not fly into shivers under the exercise of prayer and faith. You may force your way through anything with the leverage of prayer. Th... 阅读更多

BIBLE -INERRANCY OF

We will not have it that God, in his Holy Book, makes mistakes about matters of history, or of science, any more than he does upon the great truths of salvation. If the Lord be God, he must be infallible; and if he can be described as in error in the little respects of human history and science, he ... 阅读更多

BIBLE -INSPIRATION OF

Inspiration and speculation cannot long abide in peace. Compromise there can be none. DG25 Our reverence for the great Author of Scripture should forbid all mauling of his words. No alteration of Scripture can by any possibility be an improvement. Believers in verbal inspiration should be studiously... 阅读更多

BIBLE -INTERPRETATION OF

In the Old Testament we get the facts; in the New Testament we find the explanation of the facts. 1181.373 Dear friends, whenever you want to understand a text of Scripture, try to read the original. 2213.377 Scripture is the best interpreter of Scripture. The locks of Scripture are only to be opene... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BIBLE -JESUS AND

We should always read Scripture in this light; we should consider the word to be as a mirror into which Christ looks down from heaven; and then we, looking into it, see His face reflected as in a glass—darkly, it is true, but still in such a way as to be a blessed preparation for seeing Him as we sh... 阅读更多

BIBLE -KING JAMES

Now, sinner, if thou wouldst be obedient to Christ’s word, Christ’s word says, “He that believeth, and is immersed, shall be saved.” Mark, I have translated the word. King James would not have it translated. 140.267 The word of God to them might as well be the word of King James the First, whose nam... 阅读更多

BIBLE -LONGEVITY OF

The Word of God is quite sufficient to interest and bless the souls of men throughout all time; but novelties soon fail. GF12 Large tomes we have in our library which it takes all our strength to lift, all upon Holy Scripture; myriads upon myriads of smaller volumes, tens of thousands of every shape... 阅读更多

BIBLE -MEDITATION ON

Some people like to read so many chapters every day. I would not dissuade them from the practice, but I would rather lay my soul asoak in half a dozen verses all day than I would, as it were, rinse my hand in several chapters. 1578.42... 阅读更多

BIBLE -NEGLECT OF

There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write “damnation” with your fingers. 15.112 Perhaps there is no book more neglected in these days than the Bible. I do verily believe there are more mouldy Bibles in this world than there are of any sort of neglected books. We have stillborn books in ab... 阅读更多

BIBLE -NOURISHMENT FROM

I have many an old book in my library in which there have been book-worms, and I have sometimes amused myself with tracing a worm. I do not know how he gets to the volume originally, but being there he eats his way into it. He bores a hole in a direct line, and sometimes I find that he dies before h... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BIBLE -POWER OF

It is better to preach five words of God’s Word than five million words of man’s wisdom. Men’s words may seem to be the wiser and the more attractive, but there is no heavenly life in them. TN235 I confess that the words of Scripture thrill my soul as nothing else ever can; they bear me aloft or das... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BIBLE -PROMISES OF

The Bible is a Book of precious promises; all the way we have to travel, they seem to be like a series of stepping-stones across the stream of time, and we may march from one promise to another, and never wet our feet all the way from earth to heaven, if we do but know how to keep our eyes open, and... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BIBLE -QUESTIONING OF

If we doubt God’s Word about one thing, we shall have small confidence in it upon another thing. Sincere faith in God must treat all God’s Word alike; for the faith which accepts one word of God and rejects another is evidently not faith in God, but faith in our own judgment, faith in our own taste.... 阅读更多

BIBLE -READING OF

When you shall come before him, he shall say, “Did you read my Bible?” “No.” “I wrote you a letter of mercy; did you read it?” “No.” “Rebel! I have sent thee a letter inviting thee to me: didst thou ever read it?” “Lord I never broke the seal; I kept it shut up.” “Wretch!” says God, “then thou deser... 阅读更多

BIBLE -REJECTION OF

A certain sceptical writer, when in prison, was visited by a Christian man, who wished him well, but he refused to hear a word about religion. Seeing a Bible in the hand of his visitor, he made this remark, “You do not expect me to believe in that book, do you? Why, if that book is true, I am lost f... 阅读更多

BIBLE -SATURATION WITH

Lord Bacon tells of a certain bishop who used to bathe regularly twice every day, and on being asked why he bathed thus often, replied, “Because I cannot conveniently do it three times.” If those who love the Scriptures were asked why they read the Bible so often, they might honestly reply, “because... 阅读更多
