My Year with Spurgeon: Week 23


No man can know Jesus Christ unless he is taught of God. There is no doctrine of the Bible which can be safely, thoroughly, and truly learned, except by the agency of the one authoritative teacher. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Comforter
Love is the only handkerchief which can wipe the mourner’s tears away. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Comforter
He will not give justification to that man, and sanctification to another—pardon to one, and holiness to another. No, it all goes together. Whom he call, them he justifies; whom he justifies, them he sanctifies; and whom he sanctifies, them he also glorifies. Oh; if I could lay down nothing but the comforts of the gospel, ye would fly to them as flies do to honey. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Comforter
It is the incessant round of world, world, world; the constant din of earth, earth, earth, that takes away the soul from Christ. ~ Charles Spurgeon, The Remembrance of Christ
An old divine says there is no going to heaven without passing hard by the gates of hell—without a great deal of soul-trouble and heart-exercise. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
But Christ will not throw you away because you are of no value. You do not know of what use you may be, and you cannot tell how Jesus Christ values you after all. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
You are smoking, and you think God will put you out. If I were an Arminian, I should tell you that he would; but being a believer in the Bible, and nothing else, I tell you that he will not quench you. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
When he says that he will not break the bruised reed, he means more; he means that he will nourish, that he will help, and strengthen, and support and glorify—that he will execute his commission on it, and make it glorious for ever. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
First of all, the little saint is just as much God’s elect as the great saint. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
When God chose his people, he chose them all at once, and altogether; and he elected one just as much as the other. ~ Charles Spurgeon, Sweet Comfort for Feeble Saints
