Gems From C. H. Spurgeon
(1834-1892)
I hope I shall never, while I live, cease to have
another project
always in hand. 1859
*
Never
prophesy until after the event, and then, of course, you cannot
prophesy; therefore, never attempt to prophesy at all.
1892
*
There
are prayers that break the backs of words; they are too heavy for any
human language to carry. 1892
*
When
I pass a day without preaching my Master's name I feel that I have not
done what I ought to have done, and I do not rest satisfied till I am within
the four boards of a pulpit again. 1855
*
Nearly
all our modern errors, I might say all of them,
begin with mistakesabout Christ. 1862
*
I
do not find many souls have been converted to God by exquisite
dissertations about the battle of Armageddon, and all those other fine
things; I have no doubt prophecies are very profitable, but I rather
question whether they are so profitable to hearers, as they may be to the
preachers and publishers. 1862
*
A
Christless gospel is no gospel and a Christless discourse is the
cause of merriment to devils. 1855 .
*
I
am not quite sure about a smile being a sin, and, at any rate, I think it
is less a crime to cause a momentary laughter than a half-hour's profound slumber. 1855
