The author, in this two-volume set, captivates our mind and brings us to the conclusion of the whole matter: we must “fear God, and keep his commandments.

Notable Quotes of Charles H. Spurgeon

Our Friends

“No man or woman can afford to be the friend of a man who is not a friend of God! If He does not love God, quit his company, for he will do you no good. Say with David, ‘I will not know a wicked person.’”—1894, Sermon #2362

“Do you value yourself according to your prayers? Then your prayers have no value in them! When you think that your prayers are only broken words, hideous moans and wretched desires, then you begin to form a right estimate of them and thus you are on true ground where the Lord of Truth can meet you.”—1887, Sermon #1992

“The backbone of the preaching of Christ is a conviction of the Truth of Christ.”—1892, Sermon #2285

Holy Familiarity

“There is a holy familiarity with God which cannot be too much enjoyed, but there is a flippant familiarity with God which cannot be too much abhorred! The Lord is King. His will is not to be questioned! His every Word is Law. Let us never question His Sovereign right to decree what He pleases and to fulfill the decree—to command what He pleases and to punish every shortcoming.”—1891, Sermon #2195 “

The prerogative to give life or to take it away must remain with the Most High. The wit and wisdom of man are altogether powerless to bestow life upon even the tiniest insect! We know of a surety, doctrinally, and we know it with equal certainty by experience, that we can do nothing towards the quickening of men apart from the Spirit of

God. If He does not come and give life, we may preach till we have not another breath left, but we shall not raise from the tomb of sin even the soul of a little child, or bring a single sinner to the feet of Christ!”—1892, Sermon #2246

“It is said that an ambassador is a gentleman who is sent abroad to lie for the good of his country. I suppose that common saying is so nearly true that we need not correct it. And a politician is often a gentleman who has learned the art of concealing his thoughts, or who expresses opinions which he trusts will be in accordance with those of his constituency!”—1895, Sermon #2413
