The Lion and the Bear—Trophies Hung Up

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 25, 1884

DAVID had lived with God. Throughout many a solitary day he had kept his father’s flock among the lone hills of Judah, and had worshipped the Unseen but Ever-present Lord. He had grown into an adoring familiarity with the Most High, so that to him the name of…

Fat Things, Full of Marrow

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 23, 1876

THIS precious passage is the property of all true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We might not have ventured to say this if it were not for the last verse of the chapter, which assures us that it is so.

Good News for the Aged

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 25, 1898

WE have come to the end of another year. Better is the end of a year than the beginning thereof. A year is begun with fear and trembling, it closes with joy and thankfulness. In the beginning of the year, we are like the sailor when he leaves port, hoists his…

A Portrait No Artist Can Paint

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 3, 1897

WHILE reading this description given by John of what he saw in the isle called Patmos, I think you must have noticed that it would be quite impossible for any painter to depict it upon canvas and equally impossible for any sculptor to embody it in stone or mar…

Our Compassionate High Priest

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 10, 1892

THE high priest looked Godward, and therefore he had need to be holy, for he had to deal with things pertaining to God. But at the same time he looked manward, it was for men that he was ordained, that, through him, they might deal with God, and therefore he h…

The History of Sundry Fools

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 1, 1885

THE Psalm contains one picture in four panels. It illustrates a single experience in its main outlines, for in every case it is written, “Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses,” and yet each case is very differ…

Love’s Labors

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 4, 1881

THE grace of charity, or love, of which so much is most admirably spoken in this chapter, isabsolutely essential to true godliness. So essential is it that if we have everything beside, but have notcharity, it profits us nothing. The absence of charity is abso…

God Forgiving Sin

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 6, 1890

AT first men have very low ideas of sin. It is a trifle, a mere mistake, a failure of judgment, a little going aside; but when the Holy Spirit begins to deal with them, sin grows to be an intolerable burden, a fearsome thing full of horror and dismay. The more…

Dagon’s Ups and Downs

Charles Spurgeon

THE ark of the Lord was captured by the Philistines though it was guarded by all the men of arms that Israel could muster for the battle. It came to no hurt when it was surrounded by unarmed priests.

“There Is No Difference”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 5, 1899

THE apostle here says that “there is no difference,” yet he does not mean that all men are alike in all respects. There are very many and important variations among men. It would be quite untrue and unjust to say that there are no differences of character even…

Testimony and Experience

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 2, 1872

THE most important question concerning any man living is this, is he a saved soul or no? It is of comparatively little consequence whether he be rich or poor, educated or uneducated, compared with this, is he among the living before God or is he dead in sins?…

Strong Faith in a Faithful God

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 11, 1915

DAVID was in the Cave Adullam. He had fled from Saul, his remorseless foe, and had found shelter in the clefts of the rock. In the beginning of this psalm he rings the alarm bell—and very loud is the sound of it. “Be merciful unto me,” and then the clapper hit…

Why Some Sinners Are Not Pardoned

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 16, 1900

NO man should rest until he is sure that his sin is forgiven. It may be forgiven, and he may be sure that it is forgiven, and he ought not to give rest to his eyes, nor slumber to his eyelids, till he has been assured, with absolute certainty, that his transgr…

A Day to Be Remembered

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 11, 1900

OBSERVE, dear friends, that our Lord spoke this sentence to Zacchaeus. Some of us may have fancied that He said it to the objecting people, but He did not. They may have heard it, and their objection may have been answered by it, but the main purpose of our bl…

The Hungry Filled, the Rich Emptied

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 20, 1906

DIVINE providence is like a wheel, and as the wheel revolves, that spoke which was highest becomes the lowest, and that which was lowest is elevated to the highest place. It seems to be one of the works in which God delights to cast down the lofty, and to lift…

Debtors and Debtors

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 2, 1902

I TRUST that the Lord has “somewhat to say” upon this subject to some who are like Simon the Pharisee, and if He has, I trust that those persons will be led by the grace of God to say, as Simon did, “Master, say on.” Be ready to hear what the Lord Jesus Christ…

An Immovable Foundation

Charles Spurgeon • May 13, 1866

WE are walking along through the vineyard of this psalm, plucking the clusters on the right hand and on the left, when suddenly, with a tremendous roar, the “if” of our text, like a young lion, leaps out upon us. What shall we do with it? Let us play the man,…

Salvation by Grace

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 25, 1901

THE cardinal error against which the Gospel of Christ has to contend is the effect of the tendency of the human heart to rely upon salvation by works. The great antagonist to the truth as it is in Jesus is that pride of man which leads him to believe that he c…

A Stir—and What Came of It

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 8, 1905

MANY things make a stir in a city, and sometimes, these stirs are full of evil. I always think, each time I read Carlyle’s history of the French Revolution, how thankful we ought to be that the city of London has not been excited, from end to end, by political…

A Searching Test

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 20, 1916

I SHALL not profess this evening to enter into a full exposition of this text, for there are many deep things in it, and many intricate questions are suggested by it. I shall only make some observations upon it intended to be of practical service.

“Even Now”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 27, 1892

I HOPE that there are a great many persons here who are interested in the souls of those around them. We shall certainly never exercise faith concerning those for whose salvation we have no care. I trust, also, that we are diligent in looking after individuals…

The Inner Side of Conversion

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 15, 1889

THERE are turning points in most lives. We go on in a straight line for a certain distance, but suddenly we come to a place where we must make a choice of roads. All the rest of our journey may depend upon what we do at those particular points. Character often…

God Rejoicing in the New Creation

Charles Spurgeon • Jul 5, 1891

THIS passage, like the rest of Isaiah’s closing chapters, will have complete fulfillment in the latter days when Christ shall come, when the whole company of His elect ones shall have been gathered out from the world, when the whole creation shall have been re…

A Door of Hope

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 27, 1901

A CHRISTIAN must walk by faith, not by sight. The way to heaven is not one which is to be trodden by the carnal foot of the man who must see before he can believe. It is a dark way to those who have not the eyes of faith. It is a way through the air, utterly i…
