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.

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BIBLE -STUDY OF

Holy Scripture requires searching—much of it can only be learned by careful study. ME323 Bible study is the metal that makes a Christian; this is the strong meat on which holy men are nourished; this is that which makes the bone and sinew of men who keep God’s way in defiance of every adversary. 152... 阅读更多

BIBLE -TRANSLATION OF

Let us quote the words as they stand in the best possible translation, and it will be better still if we know the original, and can tell if our version fails to give the sense. GF23 We are fully assured that our own old English version of the Scriptures is sufficient for plain men for all purposes o... 阅读更多

BIBLE -TWISTING OF

It is an ill sign when a man dares not look a Scripture in the face, and an evidence of brazen impudence when he tries to make it mean something less condemnatory of his sins, and endeavours to prove it to be less sweeping in its demands. TD50:17 Some want to shape the Scriptures to their creed, and... 阅读更多

BIBLE -VALUE OF

Do not throw away the best for the sake of getting something that may be newer, but that must be far inferior. I hold one single sentence out of God’s word to be of more certainty, and of more power, than all the discoveries of all the learned men of all the ages. 1814.680 The words of this book are... 阅读更多

BIBLE -WARNINGS IN

Idle words are in the speech of man, not in the writings of Jehovah. BA143 A precept of Scripture is like a lighthouse upon a quicksand or a rock; it quietly bids the wise helmsman steer his vessel another way. The whole coast of life is guarded by these protecting lights, and he who will take note ... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BIRTH, NEW

In the first birth—born to sin, in the next—born to holiness; in the first—partakers of corruption, in the next—heirs of incorruption; in the first—depravity, in the second—perfection. 398.403 If you are really born of God, the date of your new birth is interesting to curiosity but not important to ... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BITTERNESS

Some are naturally very hot-tempered, and soon boil over. These are men of great force of character, or else of great shallowness: it is the small pot which is soon hot. Some are malicious; they can take enmity quietly, and keep it in the refrigerator of their cold hearts, even for years. 2248.134... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BLINDNESS

If you go outside the Tabernacle, take the first turning on the left, and walk down what is called the St. George’s Road till you come to the end, you may see asylums built for three sorts of blind people. On your right hand you will have the Blind School. That is for the physically blind, who have ... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BOASTING

Never talk of what you have done, but go on to something else. An officer rode up to his general, and said, “Sir, we have taken two guns from the enemy.” “It is well,” said the general, “take two more.” BA59 The Lord loves to use tools which are not rusted with self-conceit. BA280 The moment we glor... 阅读更多

BODY WORSHIPPERS

Many persons think a great deal about the adorning of the body, but do not think anything about the ornaments of the soul. The feeding of the physical frame engrosses much care, but the supply of spiritual food is often neglected. Yet, O man, thou thyself art better than thy body! Thine immortal sou... 阅读更多

BOLDNESS

Oh, my brethren! bold-hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards. 499.149 You and I cannot be useful if we want to be sweet as honey in the mouths of men. God will never bless us if we wish to please men, that they may think well of us. Are you willing to tell them what will break your o... 阅读更多

BOREDOM

Thousands there are who are drinking of the tasteless cup of satiety every day; and some novel invention whereby they may kill time, some new discovery whereby they may give a fresh vent to their iniquity would be a wonderful thing to them; and if some man should rise up who could find out for them ... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BUSINESS

“Business is business,” says somebody. Yes, I know it is, and it has no business to be such business as it very often is. It ought to be christianized, and the Christian that does not christianize business is a dead Christian—a savourless salt, wherewith shall such salt be savoured when the salt its... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

BUSYBODIES

If, as our proverb puts it, “Charity begins at home,” so should criticism; and criticism concerning character had better stop there. There is so much dirty linen in our own house needing to be washed that none of us need to take in our neighbour’s washing. “Mind your own business,” is a command that... 阅读更多

CALL, EFFECTUAL

Beloved, man has power to resist the ordinary motions of the Spirit; but when the Holy Ghost comes to effectual work, and puts forth his mighty power, who shall stay his hand, or say unto him, “What doest thou?” 660.641 Ask any man whether he is a Christian against his will, and he will tell you cer... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

CALL, GENERAL

It is a remarkable fact, that where the gospel is not preached in its general aspect, God does not seem to work out his special object to any large extent. 566.236 Our Saviour has bidden us to preach the gospel to every creature; he has not said, “Preach it only to the elect;” and though that might ... 阅读更多

CALLING

In what way can I bring my Lord most glory, and be of most service to His Church while I am here? Solve that question, and pass into the practical. AM233 Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonour your profession wh... 阅读更多

CALVANISM - OPPOSITION TO

We notice that if we talk about the election of men and the non-election of fallen angels, there is not a cavil for a moment. Every man approves of Calvinism till he feels that he is a loser by it; but when it begins to touch his own bone and his own flesh then he kicks against it. 233.66... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

CALVINISM

To me, Calvinism means the placing of the eternal God at the head of all things. AM337 The doctrines of original sin, election, effectual calling, final perseverance, and all those great truths which are called Calvinism—though Calvin was not the author of them, but simply an able writer and preache... 阅读更多

C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

The opinion of a man about to be executed must not be taken with regard to the propriety of capital punishment, nor must we take the opinion of a man who is himself marching to hell concerning the justice of hell, for he is not an impartial judge. 86.260 I will not aid and abet soldiers as warriors,... 阅读更多
