Lately, I've been reading up on the life of Charles Spurgeon. And I'm amazed at how God used him in the New Park Street Chapel to reach out to so many lives in London in the 1800's. But, more importantly, I really love reading the words he spoke, thought, and wrote down. Spurgeon never fails to inspire me. So, I've decided to gather some of his words all in one place.
Some of my favorite Charles Spurgeon quotes:
"All afflictions are not chastisements for sin; there are some afflictions that have quite another end and object."
"How angels thus keep us we cannot tell. Whether they repel demons, counteract spiritual plots, or even ward off the subtler physical forces of disease, we do not know. Perhaps we shall one day stand amazed at the multiplied services which the unseen bands have rendered to us."
"Do nothing when you are out of temper, and then you will have the less to undo."
"Treat all creatures kindly, then, so far as you can, for the great Creator's sake."
"We should work with the hands of Martha, but yet keep near the Master with the heart of Mary; we want a combination of activity and meditation."
"If there is anything that is a miniature picture of heaven upon earth, it is a pair of Christians happily united, whose children grow up in the fear of the Lord, and render to them increased comfort and joy every day. Oh, how much some of us owe to the gospel for the happiness of our homes!"
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
"A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble."
"Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of."
"I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary."
