Christians Kept From Sin

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 25, 1907

THESE verses are taken from the story of David’s coming into contact with Nabal the churl. Nabal was a great sheep-master and David and his six hundred men had been specially careful not to injure his flocks, but had protected them from any pilfering that migh…

Sham Conversion

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 23, 1905

-34 THE world is full of deceptions and counterfeits. We have had to protect ourselves by law against adulterations of the most common articles of food, but all the laws in the world will not be able to protect us against the constant, the almost universal dec…

The Exeter-Hall Sermon to Young Men

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 2, 1883

I HAVE been wondering whether I might correctly say that I would preach tonight as a young man to young men. It is precisely what I should like to do, but can I do it? You are young men, I see, to a very large extent, but I wonder whether I am a young man myse…

Number 1500, or “Lifting Up the Bronze Serpent”

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 19, 1879

THIS discourse, when it shall be printed, will make fifteen hundred of my sermons which have been published regularly week after week. This is certainly a remarkable fact. I do not know of any instance in modern times in which 1,500 sermons have thus followed…

From Twenty-Five to Thirty-Five

Charles Spurgeon • May 16, 1897

NO parable teaches all sides of truth. It is wrong to attempt to make a parable run on all fours—it is intended to convey some one lesson—and if it teaches that, we must not attempt to draw everything else out of it. This parable sets forth the great God as a…

A Mournful Defection

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 15, 1904

NO mischief that ever befalls our Christian communities is more lamentable than that which comes from the defection of the members. The heaviest sorrow that can wring a pastor’s heart is such as comes from the perfidy of his most familiar friend. The direst ca…

Under His Shadow

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 14, 1911

I MUST confess of my short discourse, as the man did of the axe which fell into the stream, that it is borrowed. The outline of it is taken from one who will never complain of me, for to the great loss of the church on earth she has left these lower choirs to…

Rehoboam—the Unready

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 20, 1901

YOU have probably noticed that, as a general rule, the sacred historians, at the end of each king’s reign, sum up the character of the monarch, and describe him as either doing evil in the sight of the Lord or doing that which was right in the sight of the Lor…

Providence—as Seen in the Book of Esther

Charles Spurgeon • Nov 1, 1874

YOU are probably aware that some persons have denied the inspiration of the Book of Esther because the name of God does not occur in it. They might, with equal justice, deny the inspiration of a great number of chapters in the Bible, and of a far greater numbe…

Meditation on God

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 2, 1900

DAVID, certainly, was not a melancholy man. Eminent as he was for his piety and for his religion, he was equally eminent for his joyfulness and gladness of heart. Read the verse that precedes my text, “I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing p…

Stand Fast

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 27, 1882

I THINK this morning we showed pretty plainly that many a soul has a great struggle to attain to the hope of the gospel [See “Despair Denounced and Grace Glorified,” No. 1676. ]. Not without hand-to-hand fighting do many hearts lay hold on Christ and eternal l…

The Unknown Giver and the Misused Gifts

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 17, 1892

IN reading any of the records concerning the people of Israel and the people of Judah, one stands amazed at two things, and scarcely knows which to wonder at the most. The first thing which causes astonishment is the great sin of the people, and the next thing…

The King and His Court

Charles Spurgeon • May 27, 1894

DAVID is going to be king, and these are the resolutions that he makes before he ascends the throne.

Spices, Flowers, Lilies and Myrrh

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 23, 1896

IN this chapter, the spouse describes in detail the person of her Beloved. She is not satisfied with saying, “He is altogether lovely,” but she delights to talk of the charms of each part of His sacred person, and to picture the beauties of His divine form and…

The Cast-Off Girdle

Charles Spurgeon

GOD’S servants, in the olden time, were very anxious to be understood when they spoke. They were not content because the people listened to them, or because they were to their hearers as “a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well o…

The Church the World’s Hope

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 7, 1905

THE apostle Paul had given some very good advice to the mariners of this ship. They had thought fit to reject it. What then? Now some of us are of such short temper that if our good advice should be rejected, we should be in a huff and never offer any more—and…

The Holy Ghost—the Need of the Age

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 13, 1887

BRETHREN, what a stern rebuke to the people of Israel is contained in the title with which the prophet addressed them—“O you that are named the house of Jacob”! It is as much as to say to them, “You wear the name, but you do not bear the character of Jacob.” I…

“Things to Come”

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 13, 1869

A SHORT time ago we meditated upon the former words of this verse, “Things present; all are yours.” Friends have asserted that it was a pleasant and profitable meditation—may we have more than equal of the blessing of God’s Spirit this morning.

My Hourly Prayer

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 26, 1882

“HOLD you me up.” This is no novelty as a prayer, we have met with it many a time. Another form of it lies hard by. Look at the verse immediately before the text, and see it there in another shape.

Believers Sent by Christ, as Christ Is Sent by the Father

Charles Spurgeon • May 11, 1890

HERE is a great fact mentioned, namely, that the Father sent the Son into the world. Our Lord’s disciples believed this. Jesus says Himself, “They have believed that You did send me.” It is one of the first essentials of saving faith to believe in Christ as th…

Threefold Sanctification

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 9, 1862

MARK, beloved, the union of the Three Divine Persons in all their gracious acts. We believe that there is one God, and although we rejoice to recognize the Trinity, yet it is ever most distinctly a Trinity in Unity . Our watchword still is—“Hear O Israel, the…

The Heart: a Gift for God

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 11, 1887

THESE are the words of Solomon speaking in the name of wisdom, which wisdom is but another name for the Lord Jesus Christ, who is made of God unto us wisdom. If you ask, “What is the highest wisdom upon the earth?” it is to believe in Jesus Christ whom God has…

Holy Song From Happy Saints

Charles Spurgeon • Sep 16, 1915

IT was a prophet who wrote this, a prophet inspired of God. An ordinary believer might suffice to sing, but he counts it no stoop for a prophet, and no waste of his important time, to occupy himself with song. There is no engagement under heaven that is more e…

The Free-Agency of Christ

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 12, 1902

THERE is a very wonderful variety in the miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the variety is apparent even in the way in which men come to Him to partake of His blessing. With regard to the blind men to whom our Lord gave sight, we read of some that they wer…
