I woke up this morning with the words " Charles Spurgeon". I had heard the name before, however, he has not really been a part of my spiritual journey.  I know very little about him and wondered why his name was brought so sharply to my attention. I am now on a 'fact-finding' mission about this man and am interested in finding out why he sprung to my mind with such unequivocal clarity, especially since there was and is,as far as I can tell, nothing in my experiences or thoughts that would bring him to my attention. I am now trying to put together, through his biography, the pieces and hope to make sense of this , particularly at this stage of my journey of transition...

Loved this.  Praise God for Spurgeon!  Philippians 3:17!

Did anyone else notice that all of Piper’s opening prayer was a compilation of the Psalms

Wow. Puts things in perspective. When I see how hard Spurgeon worked, I am convicted of how lazy I am! Help me to tireless serve you with all that I am Lord!

Some really good points (I'd say 5 points but people might take that the wrong way!) and Spurgeon's ministry should inspire all of us.

I will continue my search from this insightful and solid base...

Minute 55..."there are two of us"...my body literally shook with tears in my eyes when I heard this as I lay on my bed 11:30 at night.

1892 year my grandfather was born, reference in my life only 64 now.  He was a wounded vet from WW1, calvary Captain. He was a lieutenant with Patton in the last calvary expedition under Black Jack Pershing into Mexico.

Wow, thank you, Pastor John,  for this powerful, insightful and well-presented exposition of Charles Spurgeons' life. I like that fact that you zeroed in on two points or attributes that characterized his life. That is, the convergence of his love for the God-centered,  Christ-exalting, Bible-centered truth and his zeal for rescuing people, all culminating in an avalanche of energy with the consciousness that he was not carrying out the work of the ministry on his own but through the strength of the Lord Jesus.  That is very useful in summing the life of this "Prince of Preachers". It it is also very useful in helping me to carve my own path... I now know, to a large extent, why my attention was drawn to him in this season of my life...May God bless you greatly in the next season of your life!!!

Shouldn't we pray for people to become believers rather than praying that they become baptists? Just sayin

Es una gran bendicion que  fiinalmente alguien ensene la vida  de Spurgeon , Por que es el llamado El Principe de  pastores pero  , un principe hechado al olvido  en un mundo tan nesecitado de su doctrina de la Gracia .El amor  y el conociemiento y la sencillez de sus mensajes , me hicieron conocer a Cristo. Spugeon es mi pastor , en cada sermos que leo , en cada ensenaza LA LUZ DE CRISTO RESPLANDECE.

Use a hard copy bible when you can. Its a fantastic witness if only to your kids. Easier to read, easier to absorb,  will never be changed in an update. And a fantastic witness to everyone around you.
And removes the all to often (at least in too many churches i have seen) the temptation to go elsewhere. ( apps, messages etc.. )

Truth and loving others by and with the truth through your own personal Pentecost is the Way ! Following Jesus ! Never say never !

Loved it

Thanks in advance.

Wow

Jesus alone

Sad Pastor Piper retiring too young

🙏 Pray to the Lord! "Jesus, thank you for loving me & for dying on the cross to save me from my sins & from hell, forgive me of all my sins, I believe in you, & now Jesus, I invite you & receive you as my Lord and Savior, Amen ❤"

Wooow, what wonderful wonderful testimony. I enjoyed this very much. Spurgen was indeed something else, but this man is special too. Thanks for posting/sharing this truly moving testimony for/of both men.
Praise our precious Lord, He knows who is His. : )
