Struggles of Conscience
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 22, 1860
THERE are many persons who long to have a deeper sense of their sinfulness, and then with a certain show of conscientious scruple, they make an excuse for the exercise of simple faith. That spiritual disease, which keeps sinners from Christ, assumes a differen…
Particular Election
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 22, 1857
IT is exceedingly desirable that in the hours of worship and in the house of prayer our minds should be as much as possible divested of every worldly thought. Although the business of the week will very naturally struggle with us to encroach upon the Sabbath,…
The Cedars of Lebanon
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 13, 1863
IF Solomon were here this morning, who spoke of all trees, from the hyssop on the wall to the cedar that is in Lebanon, he would greatly instruct us in the natural history of the cedar, and at the same time, uttering allegories and proverbs of wisdom, he would…
Corn in Egypt
Charles Spurgeon • Jan 16, 1859
GOD in His wisdom has so made the outward world, that it is a strange and wonderful picture of the inner world. Nature has an analogy with grace. The wonders that God does in the heart of man, each of them finds a parallel, a picture, a metaphor, an illustrati…
A Hearer in Disguise
Charles Spurgeon • Jul 31, 1864
AHIJAH the prophet was blind. Did I not tell you this morning that God’s servants could be happy without the light of the sun? If God should be pleased to deprive their natural eyes of the pleasures of light their souls would not be without joy, for as in the…
Christ Our Passover
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 2, 1855
THE more you read the Bible, and the more you meditate upon it, the more you will be astonished with it. He who is but a casual reader of the Bible does not know the height, the depth, the length, and breadth of the mighty meanings contained in its pages. Ther…
The Prodigal’s Return
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 7, 1858
ALL persons engaged in education will tell you that they find it far more difficult to make the mind unlearn its errors than to make it receive truth. If we could suppose a man totally ignorant of anything, we should have a fairer chance of instructing him qui…
Preparation for Revival
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 30, 1864
THE believer is agreed with God . The war between the most holy God and His offending creatures is over in the case of blood-washed sinners, not suspended by a truce, but ended forever by a peace which passeth all understanding. The believer is fully agreed wi…
Christ—the Power and Wisdom of God
Charles Spurgeon • May 17, 1857
UNBELIEF towards the Gospel of Christ is the most unreasonable thing in the entire world, because the reason which the unbeliever gives for his unbelief is fairly met by the character and constitution of the Gospel of Christ. Notice that before this verse we r…
Secret Sins
Charles Spurgeon • Feb 8, 1857
SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS arises partly from pride but mainly from ignorance of God’s law. It is because men know little or nothing concerning the terrible character of the divine law that they foolishly imagine themselves to be righteous. They are not aware of the d…
The Solar Eclipse
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 14, 1858
TOMORROW we are all expecting to witness one of the greatest sights in the universe—the annular eclipse of the sun. It is possible that many of us shall have gone the way of all flesh before such a sight shall again be seen in this country and we are therefore…
Elijah’s Appeal to the Undecided
Charles Spurgeon • May 31, 1857
IT was a day to be remembered when the multitudes of Israel were assembled at the foot of Carmel and when the solitary prophet of the Lord came forth to defy the four hundred and fifty priests of the false god. We might look upon that scene with the eye of his…
Turn or Burn
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 7, 1856
“IF the sinner turns not, God will whet his sword.” So, then, God has a sword and He will punish man on account of his iniquity. This evil generation has labored to take away from God the sword of His justice. They have endeavored to prove to themselves that G…
A Jealous God
Charles Spurgeon • Mar 29, 1863
THE passion of jealousy in man is usually exercised in an evil manner, but it is not in itself necessarily sinful. A man may be zealously cautious of his honor, and suspiciously vigilant over another, without deserving blame. All thoughtful persons will agree…
Christ Triumphant
Charles Spurgeon • Sep 4, 1859
TO the eye of reason the cross is the center of sorrow and the lowest depth of shame. Jesus dies a malefactor’s death. He hangs upon the gibbet of a felon and pours out His blood upon the common mount of doom with thieves for His companions. In the midst of mo…
Unbelievers Stumbling—Believers Rejoicing
Charles Spurgeon • May 22, 1864
OUR apostle was inspired of God, and yet he was moved to quote passages out of the Old Testament. The Spirit of God might have dictated new words to him, might have shown him how to confirm the truth by other arguments, but He is not pleased so to do. He moves…
The Child Samuel’s Prayer
Charles Spurgeon
IN the days of Eli the word of the Lord was precious, and there was no open vision. It was well when the word did come, that one chosen individual had the hearing ear to receive it, and the obedient heart to perform it. Eli failed to tutor his sons to be the w…
A Sense of Pardoned Sin
Charles Spurgeon • May 20, 1860
HEZEKIAH here speaks positively on a matter concerning which he had not the remotest shadow of a doubt. He had trusted his God, he had cast himself upon the merit of the promised Messiah, and as the result of that faith assurance had been granted to him, and h…
The Shield of Faith
Charles Spurgeon • Oct 27, 1861
LIKE the Spartans, every Christian is born a warrior. It is his destiny to be assaulted, it is his duty to attack. Part of his life will be occupied with defensive warfare. He will have to defend earnestly the faith once delivered to the saints. He will have t…
Too Good to Be True!—a Paradox!
Charles Spurgeon • Dec 15, 1861
THIS is a very strange sentence, but the Christian is a singularly complex being. He is a compound of the fallen and of the perfect. He detects in himself continually an alternation between the almost diabolical, and the divine. Man himself is a contradiction,…
The Loved Ones Chastened
Charles Spurgeon • Nov 22, 1857
THE dealings of God towards the sons of men have always puzzled the wise men of the earth who have tried to understand them. Apart from the revelation of God, the dealings of JEHOVAH towards His creatures in this world seem to be utterly inexplicable. Who can…
The Sound in the Mulberry Trees
Charles Spurgeon • May 31, 1857
DAVID had just fought the Philistines in this very valley and gained a signal victory, so that he said, “The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me as the breach of waters.” The Philistines had come up in great hosts and had brought their gods with…
Justification by Grace
Charles Spurgeon • Apr 5, 1857
THE hill of comfort is the hill of Calvary. The house of consolation is builded with the wood of the cross. The temple of heavenly cordials is founded upon the riven rock, riven by the spear which pierced its side. No scene in sacred history ever gladdens the…
