Written by Pastor Jack Wellman20 Amazing Quotes from Charles Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon is sometimes called the “Prince of Preachers.” He was a nineteenth century British Baptist preacher, but was popular among many different denominations because of his powerful speaking skills and prolific writings. He wrote sermons, hymns, devotionals, and much more. Because of his many writings – and because many of his sermons were transcribed as he was preaching – much of his wisdom is readily available to us today.

Doth not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Doth not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Hath not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be?
