Charles Spurgeon • Apr 19, 1868

Honor for Honor
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 20, 1904
GOD is certain, sooner or later, to recompense men according to the rule of infallible justice, and if it be so among saints, it is equally so among sinners. If we could really know the secret history of any man’s life, we should be able to understand his care…
“My Beloved Is Mine”
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 8, 1895
THIS is a versicle from the Song of Songs, and I do not hesitate to say that it is the soul and heart of that divine composition. The bride dressed in her richest poesy wears no jewel more precious than this diamond of full assured possession. There is poetry…
Sympathy and Song
Charles Spurgeon
SYMPATHY is a duty of manhood. We are all brethren sprung from the same stock, and that which is a good to any man ought to be a joy to me. That any man should be sick or sorry should in a measure make me sad, but that any man should rejoice with a worthy joy—…
“Though He Were Dead”
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 14, 1884
MARTHA is a very accurate type of a class of anxious believers. They do believe truly, but not with such confidence as to lay aside their care. They do not distrust the Lord, or question the truth of what He says, yet they puzzle their brain about, “How shall…
The Tent Dissolved and the Mansion Entered
Charles Spurgeon • May 6, 1883
PAUL ranks among the bravest of the brave. We note also with admiration how the hero of so many dangers and conflicts, who could glow and burn with fervor, was yet among the calmest and quietest of spirits. He had learned to live beyond those present circumsta…
The Magnanimity of God
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 21, 1877
WE cannot wonder that, in the extreme bitterness of his soul, Job was driven to utter some expressions which he would not afterwards have attempted to justify. Among the rest, Job had thought and almost said that God had despised him. In the tenth chapter, at…
Men Without Heart, Sight, or Hearing
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 8, 1882
FEELING, sight, hearing! What wonderful things these are. If we could exist without them what a wretched condition ours would be. The outer world would be unknown to us if the gates of the senses were shut, and the soul would be famished, like Samaria when it…
Powerful Persuasives
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 9, 1916
I HAVE preached to you, dear friends, several times from the words, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” There is such sweetness in the precept, such solace in the promise, that I could fain hope to preach from it ma…
“To You”
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 1, 1904
MY text must be read in the light of the forty-sixth verse, or else I may be thought to be guilty of wresting it from its true meaning. Paul originally said, to the Jews and proselytes in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia, “To you is the word of this salvati…
Great Pardon for Great Sin
Charles Spurgeon • May 17, 1906
THIS striking prayer is hemmed in, as it were, between two promises. It looks like a fossil embedded in a mass of stone. What is means it there? Why is it put in such a peculiar position? The psalmist is both praising and preaching, how is it that he turns to…
Christ the Glory of His People
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 22, 1868
WE must read this passage literally, for so Simeon intended it. The Lord Jesus Christ, though once despised and rejected by His own countrymen, is the great honor and splendor of God’s people Israel. It is reckoned an honor to a nation when eminent persons are…
A Comforting Message for the Closing Year
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 30, 1894
IT is certain, Christian, that you have nowhere else to rest. Of the whole of this time-state it was well said, “This is not your rest,” and of all the comfort that you find in earthly friendships and relationships, in the good things of this life, or in any h…
God’s Glory in Hiding Sin
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 5, 1903
THE translation of our text, if it had been more literal, would have run thus, “It is the glory of God to cover a matter, but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” For the sake of variety in language, our translators sometimes gave two different inte…
Jehovah’s Valuation of His People
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 5, 1890
IN this chapter the Lord comforts His people. By His divine foresight He perceives that there are great and varied trials a little way ahead and therefore He prepares them for the ordeal. They are to go through rushing waters and flaming fires and He kindly bi…
Glory!
Charles Spurgeon • May 20, 1883
A FORTNIGHT ago, when I was only able to creep to the front of this platform, I spoke to youconcerning the future of our mortal bodies [Sermon #1719— The Tent Dissolved and the Mansion Entered ]: “We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were disso…
Concern for Other Men’s Souls
Charles Spurgeon
WHAT an intense man Paul was. Once convince him and his whole nature moved in the direction which he judged to be right. He was whole-hearted when he persecuted the church of God and he was equally whole-hearted when afterwards he labored with all his might to…
Vanities and Verities
Charles Spurgeon
THE apostle Paul was by no means a stoic. He had not conquered all human feeling, and rendered himself a stone man. On the contrary, he was exceedingly sensitive. You can see abundant evidence, not only in the Acts of the Apostles, but also in the tone of all…
The Lord Chiding His People
Charles Spurgeon • May 3, 1874
THIS verse has reference only to the children of God. The Psalm is for them, they alone can sing it, and this statement is concerning them only. For this reason, that from every true child of God the wrath of the great judge of all the earth is removed. Our si…
Preparation Necessary for the Communion
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 5, 1899
WE do not hold it right to admit all persons indiscriminately to the Lord’s supper—we believe the Lord’s table is the place of communion and we would have none there with whom we cannot have true Christian fellowship. We can commune with all those who love our…
Unpurchasable Love
Charles Spurgeon • May 24, 1896
THAT is a general truth, applying to all forms of real love, you cannot purchase love. If it is true love, it will not run on rails of gold. Many a marriage would have been a very happy one if there had been a tithe as much love as there was wealth, and someti…
The Head and the Body
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 17, 1899
IF I had to preach fully and accurately upon all that is taught in this text, I should certainly need to deliver a course of sermons, say five or six at least. There is such a wonderful depth of meaning in these inspired words that I might keep on expounding t…
“The Ministry of Reconciliation”
Charles Spurgeon • Jun 28, 1903
THERE has been a long standing quarrel between God and man. It commenced in that day when our first parents hearkened to the serpent’s voice, and believed the devil rather than their Maker. Yet God is not willing for that quarrel to continue. According to the…
All Are Guilty
Charles Spurgeon • May 6, 1915
THIS morning [See Sermon #678, Volume 12—PRAISE YOUR GOD, O ZION] we heard the shouts of “Hosanna!” It was very delightful to us to behold the multitude marching with the King of Zion through the streets of Jerusalem, welcoming Him with glad acclaim. But the s…
