Heart-Knowledge of God

Charles Spurgeon • Dec 6, 1874

WITH what blindness has sin struck the heart of man, for man does not know his own Maker! It is implied in the text that in his heart he is ignorant of Jehovah, though in Him he lives, and moves, and has his being; what impotence has sin brought upon the mind…

Loving the Law of the Lord

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 30, 1908

DAVID had a very small Bible, but he thought it a very precious one. Our Bible is quite a large library compared with the one that David had, yet he read and re-read it, and exulted greatly in the treasure which he found in it. I have sometimes heard people sa…

“Come From the Four Winds, O Breath!”

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 6, 1892

ACCORDING to some commentators, this vision in the valley of dry bones may refer to three forms of resurrection. Holy Scripture is so marvelously full of meaning, that one interpretation seldom exhausts its message to us. The chapter before us is an excellent…

Godly Fear and Its Goodly Consequence

Charles Spurgeon

IN the Book of Proverbs you meet with sentences of brief wisdom, which, to all appearances, belong entirely to this world, and pertain to the economy of the life that now is. I do not know whether it is true, but it was said that years ago our friends in Scotl…

Cheer for Despondency

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 3, 1910

[Another sermon by Mr. Spurgeon, upon the whole verse is #94, TOMORROW] WHAT a great mercy it is that we do not know “what a day may bring forth”! We are often thankful for knowledge, but in this case we may be particularly grateful for ignorance. It is the gl…

Dead, Yet Alive

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 27, 1905

HOW remarkably interwoven and intertwisted are the duties of believers and their privileges!

Pardon and Justification

Charles Spurgeon • Aug 22, 1907

[Mr. Spurgeon’s expositions of the Psalm, from which the text is taken, were published in sermons #2284, 2556, and 2838] FEW men judge things correctly. Most people measure by appearances—few know the test of reality. We pronounce the man blessed who grasps th…

The Peace of God

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 6, 1878

“PEACE” is a heavenly word. When at the advent of our Lord angels came to sing among men a midnight sonnet, their second note was “Peace on earth.” Would God the shining ones would chant that song again till yonder Balkans heard the strain and shook off the su…

Bit and Bridle: How to Escape Them

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 15, 1891

THE joy of full forgiveness is described in the first two verses of this psalm: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputes not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.” Oh, the bl…

“Let Him Deliver Him Now”

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 17, 1888

THESE words are a fulfillment of the prophecy contained in the twenty-second Psalm. Read from the seventh verse—“All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the Lord that He would deliver Him: let…

Apostolic Exhortation

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 5, 1868

AFTER the notable miracle of healing the lame man, when the wondering people clustered round about Peter and John, they were not at all at a loss for a subject upon which to address them. Those holy men were full to the brim with the gospel, and therefore they…

The Waterer Watered

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 23, 1865

THE general principle is that in living for the good of others, we shall be profited also ourselves. We must not isolate our own interests, but feel that we live for others. This teaching is sustained by the analogy of nature, for in nature there is a law that…

Happiness—the Privilege and Duty of Christians

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 10, 1877

THESE are the last recorded words of Moses, and they are significant, for they show us that he found comfort in his dying moments in considering the happiness of the people for whom he had labored all his life. From the day when, by God’s power, he led them up…

Might Have Been, or May Be

Charles Spurgeon • Jan 30, 1887

“JESUS WEPT ;” it does not mean that He shed a tear or two, but that His tears flowed freely. Such is to be gathered from the original word. He wept copiously and continuously, till He became theobserved of all observers. He was deeply affected, and His tears…

“The Oil of Joy for Mourning”

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 13, 1913

MOURNERS in Zion ought to be doubly comforted, for here, in this gracious promise is a second gift of divine Love to them—a second exchange of loss for gain. The varied expressions of this choice Scripture show the manifold loving kindnesses of the Lord to His…

Every-Day Usefulness

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 14, 1869

WE have a most intense desire for the revival of religion in our own midst and throughout all the churches of our Lord Jesus. We see that error is making great advances and we would fain lift up a banner for the cause of truth. We pity the mighty populations a…

Greater Things Yet. Who Shall See Them?

Charles Spurgeon • Jun 8, 1879

WE cannot help making a few remarks upon the narrative before we proceed to the distinct subject of discourse. Certain catch words are exceedingly worthy of notice, since they are abundantly full of instruction. When Nathanael had doubts as to whether the Mess…

The Unbroken Line of True Nobles

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 17, 1875

WERE you ever perplexed by being drawn with almost equal force in two directions? I have been so. There is a bond which reaches from the cemetery which holds me very fast, and therefore I desired again this morning to have made use of the solemn visitation whi…

God’s Handwriting Upon David

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 30, 1892

THE temple was not to be built according to the designs of David, or Solomon, or any other man. It was to be built according to a pattern which God Himself had formed. In the things of God we are not left to follow our own judgments and devices, we are to look…

Ordered Steps

Charles Spurgeon • Oct 18, 1896

NOTICE in the previous verse, how the psalmist expresses his longing desire to be treated as one of the Lord’s family, “Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.” We also, dear friends, wish to be treated as…

A Painful and Puzzling Question

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 16, 1911

[Another Sermon by Mr. Spurgeon upon the same text is #1964, Why is Faith so Feeble?] THIS question may be very properly put to those who have no faith at all—and we intend to so put it in the second part of our discourse. But it was originally put to men who…

Our Lord’s Trial Before the Sanhedrin

Charles Spurgeon • Feb 5, 1882

THIS one sentence is selected because custom demands a text, but in reality we shall follow theentire narrative of our Lord’s trial before the high priests. We shall see how the Sanhedrin arrived at their unrighteous sentence, and what they did afterwards, and…

Intimate Knowledge of the Holy Spirit

Charles Spurgeon • Mar 10, 1889

THE part of the text on which we shall meditate is this—“The Spirit of truth, you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you.” Observe that the Holy Spirit is here called the Spirit of truth. There is much meaning in this expression. He is the teache…

Prayer Perfumed with Praise

Charles Spurgeon • Apr 20, 1879

ACCORDING to the text, we are both by prayer and supplication to make known our requests unto God. If any distinction is intended here, I suppose that by prayer is meant the general act of devotion and the mention of our usual needs, and by supplication I thin…
