The works of Charles Spurgeon have inspired millions of Christians around the world for over a hundred years. His wisdom and insight into God’s Word and world have helped others discover the richness of Scripture. Answers in Genesis is pleased to present the text of a large collection of sermons from this 19th century “Prince of Preachers.”
In this delightful Psalm, one sees how David finds something of praise within him in everything on which he thinks.
This psalm is full to the very brim of very great and precious promises, nor is our text the least choice of them all.
Salvation is, in short, deliverance from sin. It is not possible, therefore, that any man should have salvation, and yet continue in the indulgence of sin.
According to the judgment of Calvin, and some of the ablest commentators, there is a kind of pettishness in this verse.
If you read this Psalm, you will find that David was in a very grievous plight. He was surrounded by the most cruel and the most false of men.
I have a notion concerning this rainbow, that it was a complete circle. It must have been, I should imagine, a complete ring.
Some people are always trying to prove what is customary in the Christian Church. They are always looking for examples and precedents.
Christians have given up the first law of human nature, namely, self-seeking, self-pleasing, self-serving, and have come to seek the Lord, to seek to magnify him.
The Holy Spirit speaks of Publicans and sinners; the evil spirit in the Pharisee calls them all sinners. Let us imitate the Spirit of God, and not the spirit of pride.
Self-righteousness is the natural religion of every degraded heart. Only the Spirit of God can make a man really receive and acknowledge the truth.
Why did Peter say, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, oh Lord”?
He delights that his people should not only be safe, but happy; not merely saved, but rejoicing in his salvation.
Incessantly do we preach, and you hear, that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, that whoever trusts in him shall be saved.
That awful brow, the nod or shake of which reveals the everlasting decrees of God, is stained with spittle from the lips of wretches whom his own hands had made.
Some things he will not tell you because you cannot bear them now, but let there be nothing hidden from you because your interest flags and you do not wish to see.
While this passage literally refers to Eliakim himself, it may, with very great instructiveness, be used as applicable to the Lord Jesus.
When Jesus was here among men, the world saw him in a certain sense, but yet in truth it did not see him at all.
The annual atonement among the Jews was the picture of the great atonement, the real atonement, the effective expiation, which the Lord Jesus Christ has offered.
The religion of Jesus Christ has once and for all swept away all holy places, and every place is hallowed wherever man is holy.
This is the point where all genuine Christians meet. They can all say, without exception, “We love him.”
Do not seek salvation by rites and ceremonies; for if you do, you are seeking for the living among the dead.
Ah! how many who have sown their wild oats, and looked for a happy harvest, have discovered that nothing but mischief comes from following the path of sin.
e have come in our theological conversation to use that word “blood” somewhat lightly. I think it should scarcely ever be pronounced without a shudder.
These sermons from Charles Spurgeon are a series that is for reference and not necessarily a position of Answers in Genesis. Spurgeon did not entirely agree with six days of creation and dives into subjects that are beyond the AiG focus (e.g., Calvinism vs. Arminianism, modes of baptism, and so on).
