Spurgeon Commentary

It is not mine to make God’s Word consistent, but to believe that it is so. When a text stands in the middle of the road I drive no further. The Romans had a god they called “Terminus,” who was the god of landmarks. Holy Scripture is my sacred landmark, and I hear a voice that threatens me with a curse…

I was noticing, in the life of that man of God the Earl of Shaftesbury, that his first religious impressions were produced by a humble woman. The impressions that made him Shaftesbury—the man of God and the friend of man—were received in the nursery. Little Lord Ashley had a godly nurse who spoke to…

Peter wrote to remind his readers “to remember the words”—the very words—“proclaimed beforehand by the holy prophets” (2 Pet 3:2). “Oh!” says one, “But words do not signify. It is the inward sense that is really important.” That is just what the fool said about eggshells. He said that they did not signify;…

O, prize the word written; prizing is the way to profiting. If Caesar so valued his commentaries that for preserving them he lost his purple robe, how should we estimate the sacred oracles of God? “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.”—Thomas Watson, in The Morning Exercises.…

Plants unknown in certain regions have suddenly sprung from the soil: the seeds have been wafted on the winds, carried by birds, or washed ashore by the waves of the sea. So vital are seeds that they live and grow wherever they are borne; and even after lying deep in the soil for centuries, when the…

Martin Luther said that there were some in his day so nice and precise about the letter of Scripture that when one of them had delivered an exposition upon the book of Job, Luther said that by the time the man had got to the tenth chapter Job had been a thousand times more plagued by the expositors than…

The Book of God has stood so many attacks from such different quarters that to be at all alarmed about it shows a very childish fear. When a rock has been standing all our lifetime, and has been known to stand firmly throughout all the ages of history, none but foolish people will think that the next…

You begin to read a will, but you do not find it interesting. It is full of words and terms that you do not take the trouble to understand because they have no relation to yourself. But if you should, in reading that will, come upon a clause in which an estate is left to you, the nature of the whole…

Some time ago a town missionary had in his district a man who never would allow any Christian person to come into his house. The missionary was warned by many that he would get a broken head if he ventured on a visit. He therefore kept from the house, though it troubled his conscience to pass it by.…

The Word of God gets at the very marrow of our manhood; it lays bare the secret thoughts of the soul. It is “able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart.” Have you not often, in hearing the Word, wondered how the preacher could so unveil that which you had concealed? He says the very things…

I have read that, when the people of the State of Massachusetts wanted a set of laws, and they had not time to make them just then, they passed a resolution that they would be governed by the laws of God until they had time to make better ones. We may believe the doctrines revealed in the Word of God…

Her Majesty was on the south side of the water today, but she does not abide there. All the pomp and sunshine of her presence have vanished, and Westminster Bridge and Stangate are as they were before. The word of God sometimes comes with royal pomp into the minds of young men. They are affected by it…

When I first began to preach, I am afraid that I used to say a great many strange things—which, of course, I do not do now. But having, on a certain occasion, said something rather striking and perhaps not quite wise, there was an excellent Christian man who wanted to set me right. He did not come and…

Most church goers (87%) still believe Scripture indicates that people should never get drunk, and the majority still choose not to consume alcohol. A 10-year study from LifeWay showed that Protestant churchgoers who do not consume alcohol only dropped from 61% in 2007 to 59% in 2017. Only 23% believe…

Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. James 2:18b Recommended Reading James 2:14-18 Ask the average man or woman on the street what the prerequisite for a person to go to heaven is, and the response you are likely to receive is that he or she must "be a good…

Perfection in the scriptural use of it is not at all what those make of it who boast of perfection in the flesh. A child is perfect when it is newly born: there is every toe on the tiny foot, and its eyes, and ears, and nose, and other organs are all there. But if you tell me that a child is a perfect…

In many of our dissenting places of worship very great encouragement is held out to doubting. A person comes before the pastor, and says, “Oh! Sir, I am so afraid I am not converted; I tremble lest I should not be a child of God. Oh! I fear I am not one of the Lord’s elect.” The pastor will put out his…

To say that we save ourselves is to utter a manifest absurdity. We are called in Scripture “a temple”—a holy temple in the Lord. But shall anyone assert that the stones of the edifice were their own architect? Shall it be said that the stones of the building in which we are now assembled cut themselves…
