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.”
You have nothing to do, sinner, but to give yourself up to the leading, guiding, directing, assisting, quickening of the blessed Spirit of God.
Now, it sometimes happens that our greatest difficulty in believing a promise of God lies in his holiness.
God, who delights in mercy, had to lay out a mint of grace before sin could be pardoned; therefore, sin is no little thing.
For the mind of God, there is no difficulty concerning these two truths, though there is, to us, so much mystery and perplexity.
It is often distracting to us to be troubled with trivial things in the midst of our sacred engagements.
Some saints have more faith than others have; and very much in proportion to their faith will be their condition of heart and mind.
There is toleration for everyone who conforms to the fashion of the day; but no toleration for anyone who believes that the laws of heaven should regulate life on earth.
If sicknesses do not soften, they harden. If we get no good from our chastisements, we are sure to get harm from them.
The sweeter the love of God is to us, the more bitter is the thought of having so long sinned against it.
I do not doubt that you have realized your need of “a hiding-place from the wind, and a refuge from the tempest."
How I wish that all professing Christians would revise their creed by the Word of God!
There are thousands of Christians, at this good hour, who are lamed for life through unqualified, unhallowed teaching.
There is far too little of diligent observance of what God says in his Word. Hence, every anxious enquirer ought to be a diligent searcher of his Bible.
All the trouble in the world cannot harm you so much as half a grain of unbelief. The greatest evil to be dreaded is that of doubting your Lord.
There is a time for praying, but there is also a time for holy activity. Prayer is adapted for almost every season.
All you, who love the Lord, give vent to your heart’s emotion by holy song, and take care that it is sung to the Lord alone.
“He has made his wonderful works to be remembered.” Let us act in harmony with this grand design, and preserve the memory of the Lord’s great goodness to us.
No man is so free as he who loyally bows before the King of kings. To serve God is to reign. He who has God for his King is himself a king.
The glorious forgiving love of God is an indescribable theme, and it is altogether inexhaustible.
It is better to have only one convert who will endure to the end than twenty who only endure for a while, and in time of trial fall away.
If you were converted by one man, another man can unconvert you. All that is from man goes to be unravelled, but the work of God’s grace endures for ever.
Know yourself; know Christ Jesus as your Saviour; know the work of the Holy Spirit; all this is knowable, and must be known.
Sin hardens the heart. Every sin makes room for another sin, and it is always easier to sin again after you have sinned once.
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).
