"The Lord gets His best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction." - Charles Spurgeon.
"As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to every-one, 'Give yourself to reading.' ... He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own... You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible... the best way for you to spend your leisure is to be either reading or praying." - Charles Spurgeon.
"I question whether we have preached the whole counsel of God, unless predestination with all its solemnity and sureness be continually declared." - Charles Spurgeon, Sermons, Vol. 6, p. 26.
"The basis and groundwork of Arminian theology lies in attaching undue importance to man, and giving God rather the second place than the first." - Charles Spurgeon.
"I believe that very much of current Arminianism is simply ignorance of gospel doctrine; and if people began to study their Bibles, and to take the Word of God as they find it, they must inevitably, if believers, rise up to rejoice in the doctrines of grace." - Charles Spurgeon.
"Better that Scotland were hacked by Claverhouse for cleaving to the Lord, than that she should be flattered by infidels for her gradual departure from the faith. Let not the blood of the Covenanters be spilt in vain..." - Charles H. Spurgeon.
"We have no superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas: first, because we do not believe in the mass at all, but abhor it, whether it be said or sung in Latin or in English; and, secondly, because we find no Scriptural warrant whatever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and, consequently, its observance is a superstition, because not of divine authority." - Charles Spurgeon, Sermon on Dec. 24, 1871.
"If Christ on His cross intended to save every man, then He intended to save those who were lost before He died. If the doctrine be true, that He died for all men, then He died for some who were in Hell before He came into this world, for doubtless there were even then myriads there who had been cast away because of their sins. . . That seems to me a conception a thousand times more repulsive than any of those consequences which are said to be associated with the Calvinistic and Christian doctrine of special and particular redemption. To think that my Savior died for men who were or are in Hell, seems a supposition too horrible for me to entertain." - Charles Spurgeon, Autobiography: 1, The Early Years, p. 172.
"All the ends of the World shall remember and turn unto the Lord; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Him [Psalm 22:27]... Conversion work has hitherto been circumscribed within certain parts of the World. But the time will come when all the kindreds of the Earth shall worship. These hopes are not the flight of an ardent imagination. They are founded on the true sayings of God... The universal triumph of Christianity [is] certain." - Charles Spurgeon
"Complicity with error will take from the best of men the power to enter any successful protest against it. If any body of believers had errorists among them, but were resolute to deal with them in the name of the Lord, all might come right; but confederacies founded upon the principle that all may enter, whatever views they hold, are based upon disloyalty to the truth of God. If truth is optional, error is justifiable. At any rate, cost what it may, to separate ourselves from those who separate themselves from the truth of God is not alone our liberty, but our duty. I have raised my protest in the only complete way by coming forth, and I shall be content to abide alone until the day when the Lord shall judge the secrets of all hearts; but it will not seem to me a strange thing if others are found faithful, and if others judge that for them also there is no path but that which is painfully apart from the beaten track. 'Now I beseech you. brethren. mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.' (Romans 16:17)." - Charles Spurgeon.
