…it is a notorious fact, that men who do go wrong after a good training are the worst men in the world.

#Spurgeon #S105

The worst of men are those who, having much light, still run astray.

#Spurgeon #S105

Let no man…despair of his fellow. I never do, since I think and hope that God has saved me. I am persuaded that, live as long as I may, I shall never see the individual of whom I can say, “That man is a hopeless case.”

There are some such who never seem to be happy unless they are leading others astray. It is not enough for them to go alone against God, but they must sin in company.

Children will imitate their fathers in their vices, seldom in their repentance; if parents sin, their children will follow them, without much doubt; but when they repent and turn to God, it is not so easy to lead a child back in the way which it has once forsaken.

It takes ten thousand times more faith to be an unbeliever than to be a believer in revelation.

… should you begin to tell me one of your theories about creation—that atoms floated through space, and came to a certain shape, I should resign the palm of credulity to you.

Power always, as I believe, except in the heart which is rightly governed by grace, has a tendency to lead us to deny God.

#Spurgeon #S105

Manasseh wanted to do all these things, and therefore he would not believe because he could not believe and keep his sin. The very reason why we have much unbelief is because we have much love of sin. Men will have no God, because God interferes with their lusts.

#Spurgeon #S105

Send you a preacher who would not tell you of your sins, and you would hear him peaceably; but when the Gospel comes with power, then it is that men cannot bear it; when it trenches upon that pleasure, that sin, or that lust, then they will not believe it.

#Spurgeon #S105

Ah! sirs, ye may laugh at us for credulity; but there are hundreds here who could most solemnly assert that they have asked of God for divers matters, and that God has not failed them, but granted their request.

#Spurgeon #S105

Oh! if you have a sense that sin is forgiven, you can never doubt the existence of a God; for it will be said of you, “Then he knew that the Lord he was God.”

#Spurgeon #S105

Do you feel that you are a sinner? Then believe that Jesus Christ came to save you; for so sure as ever you feel you are a sinner, it is a fact that Christ died for you; and if he died for you, you shall not perish, for I cannot conceive that Christ would die in vain.

#Spurgeon

Poor sinner, believe! My dear friend, give me thine hand! I wish I could put it inside Christ’s hand. Oh! embrace him! embrace him! lest haply the clouds of night should come upon thee, and the sun should set ere thou hast found him.
