God's children are God's children anywhere and everywhere, and shall be even unto the end. Nothing can sever that sacred tie, or divide us from his heart. Charles Spurgeon More Quotes by Charles Spurgeon More Quotes From Charles Spurgeon A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats Charles Spurgeon shepherdschurchsheep The Word of God is like a lion. You don't have to defend a lion. All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself. Charles Spurgeon christian-inspirationallionschristian God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart. When you are so weak that you cannot do much more than cry, you coin diamonds with both your eyes. The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love. Charles Spurgeon prayerwiseheart The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.” Charles Spurgeon churchlightchristian You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace. Charles Spurgeon starsnameschildren Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god. Charles Spurgeon delightmindmen 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 own heart in the telling and break theirs in the hearing? If not, you are not fit to serve the Lord. You must be willing to go and speak for God, though you will be rejected. Charles Spurgeon heartsweetmen We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians. Charles Spurgeon churchprayerchristian It is not a matter of time so much as a matter of heart; if you have the heart to pray, you will find the time. Charles Spurgeon prayingmatterheart Lord, let me find my life in thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain. Charles Spurgeon favourgainsworld If you wish to know God, you must know his Word. If you wish to perceive His power, you must see how He works by his Word. If you wish to know His purpose before it comes to pass, you can only discover it by His Word. Charles Spurgeon godlyfaithwish You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ. Charles Spurgeon fullnessemptinesschrist My hope lives not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died; my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, HE is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon 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. Hallelujah! Charles Spurgeon trustfaithgod In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing; but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.

Charles Spurgeon trust-in-godhearthands There is an essential difference between the decease of the godly and the death of the ungodly. Death comes to the ungodly man as a penal infliction, but to the righteous as a summons to his Father's palace. To the sinner it is an execution, to the saint an undressing from his sins and infirmities. Death to the wicked is the King of terrors. Death to the saint is the end of terrors, the commencement of glory. Charles Spurgeon kingschristiandeath I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.
