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.”
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
Oh, for more humility, for then we shall have more tranquillity. Pride begets anxiety, true humility gives birth to patience.
The success of the scholar brings honour and credit to the teacher. So David speaks of God having taught him, in order that he may give honour and glory to God.
Every man should read this Psalm, for this directs us where happiness is to be found in its highest degree and purest form.

It is to dwellers, not to visitors, that the Lord promises his protection.
In this epistle Peter is speaking of the scattered saints in all parts of the world, and, taught by the Holy Spirit, he says of them that they were “a holy priesthood.”
Faith is not a grace of luxury but a grace of necessity. We must have it, and if we do not have it, we would not be the people of God at all.
What a mighty master of the art of prayer was Elijah the Tishbite! He was one of those who had the power to shut up heaven, so that it did not rain.

Dear friends, when we preach to you, we do as it were, shoot arrows at a mark; but, alas! how few of them ever reach the target!
It is a wonderful thing that God should enter into gracious covenant with men.
If our eyes have been opened to see ourselves as we are in God’s sight, we know that we are as weak as water, and that from us, unassisted by divine grace, there can never come any good thing.
ithout faith Christ is not ours. His blood cannot cleanse us; his life cannot quicken us. We must have faith to receive the blessings of salvation.
I am certain that among all those who are clinging to that poor wreck of a ship, there is not a man among them who will raise any objection to being saved.
It has almost passed into a proverb, that “thought is free.” Thought must be free, and it shall be acknowledged, by God’s help, perfectly free as between man and man.
History records several very cases of people who have sprung from the lowest ranks of society, or from the depths of poverty, yet who have mounted to a throne.
We are so slow to consider and meditate on what we have heard that it is profitable to have our memories refreshed.
While the law is glorious, it is never more misapplied than when anyone attempts to use it as a means of salvation. God never intended men to be saved by the law.
It must be a very difficult thing to be the first traveller through an unknown country, but it is a much more simple matter to travel where others have preceded us.
By the terms “water” and “blood” we understand the purifying and the pardoning effects of Christ’s work for his people.

May our experience keep pace with our knowledge, and may that experience be composed of a practical using of our Lord.
