Charles Haddon Spurgeon

"No flowers are adorned with a more lovely shade of blue than those growing at the very foot of a frozen glacier, no stars shine more brightly than those glistening in a cold polar sky, no water tastes as sweet as that springing up from desert sand, and no faith is as precious as that which lives and triumphs in adversity. Testing is a learning experience. You would never have known or believed your own weakness if you had never been compelled to pass through rivers, and you would never have known God’s strength if you had never been supported amid their raging torrents."


"This is the apostle’s creed: salvation is all of grace from first to last, and the channel of that grace is the Lord Jesus Christ, who loved, and lived, and died, and rose again for our salvation. Those who preach mere morality, or set up any way except that of trusting in the grace of God through Christ Jesus, preach another gospel, and they shall be accursed, even though they preach it with an angel’s eloquence."


Infant Baptism Quotes:


"Truth suffers nothing from free discussion, it is indeed the element in which it most
freely exerts its power. We have personally known several instances in which
sermons in defence of Infant Baptism have driven numbers to more Scriptural views,
and we have felt that if Pædo-baptists will only preach upon the subject we shall
have little to do but to remain quiet and reap the sure results. It is a dangerous
subject for any to handle who wish their people to abide by the popular opinion on
this matter."

"Some lying hypocrites tell us that children are regenerated by drops of water. What
kind of regeneration is that? We have seen people hanged that were regenerated in
this fashion."

"I can say that I am not afraid to offer prayer, that my brethren who do not see
“Believer’s baptism,” may be made to see it. If they think it is wrong, I wish they
would pray to God to set us right; but I have never heard them do that; I have never
heard them pray to the Lord to convince us of the truth of infant sprinkling—I wish
they would, if they believe it to be scriptural, and I am perfectly willing to put it to
the old test, the God that answereth by fire, let him be God, and whichever shall
prevail, when prayer shall be the ultimate arbiter, let that stand."

"As long as you give baptism to an unregenerate child, people will imagine that it
must do the child good; for they will ask, If it does not do it any good, why is it
baptized?"

"I am amazed that an unconscious babe should be made the partaker of an ordinance
which, according to the plain teaching of the Scriptures, requires the conscious
acquiescence and complete heart-trust of the recipient. Very few, if any, would
argue that infants ought to receive the Lord’s supper; but there is no more Scriptural
warrant for bringing them to the one ordinance than there is for bringing them to the
other."

"A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the 


church will have clowns entertaining the goats" (C.H. Spurgeon)


~I wonder how many churches have this problem today?
