Yesterday I preached a message entitled “A Celebration of Grace”. It was the conclusion of a 4-part series on grace from passages in the Gospel according to Luke. My final text was a very familiar text to Christians, commonly called the “parable of the prodigal son.” Two particular readings affected me greatly this past week. [...]

We Must Endeavor to Save Some
March 17, 2011“If the kingdom is ever to come to our Lord–and come it will–it never will come through a few ministers, missionaries, or evangelists preaching the Gospel. It must come through everyone one of you preaching it, in the shop and by the fireside, when walking abroad and when sitting in the chamber. You must all [...]
Sword and Trowel on Church Planters
March 8, 2010Last week, Tom Ascol posted an excerpt from The Sword and Trowel (the magazine edited by Charles Spurgeon) from the June 1869 issue wherein Edward Leach penned the following words (emphasis mine): We honor the men who, subsisting on scanty and humble fare, battling with adversity, and living down prejudice, are seeking to the best [...]
Who Will Go? A Great Commission Plea from the Prince of Preachers
October 26, 2009Charles Spurgeon spoke of a message “which weighed on him” that should weight heavily on us. Hear his impassioned plea: “I plead this day for those who cannot plead for themselves, namely, the great outlying masses of the heathen world. Our existing pulpits are tolerably well supplied, but we need men who will build on [...]

August 8, 2009On March 24, 1878, Charles Spurgeon prayed over his congregation, and included in that prayer are the following requests for renewal: “O Lord, give us more and more to have the new life, yea, and to have it more abundantly, for this is one of the objects of His coming.

Morris Chapman, Calvinism, and Saving Faith (Part 3)
July 21, 2009In my third and final post (see Part 1 and Part 2) on Morris Chapman’s recent comments on Calvinism, I want to focus on what Baptists have historically said on the issue of the Holy Spirit’s work in salvation and more specifically saving faith. Before I do, however, I want to comment briefly on how [...]

May 26, 2009“Oh to love the Saviour with a passion that can never cool; Oh to believe in God with a confidence that can never stagger! Oh, to hope with an expectation that can never be dim! Oh, to delight in God with a holy over-flowing rejoicing that can never be stopped, so that we might live [...]

We Have to Live and to Die, and We Must Have the Gospel
July 6, 2008Mornin’ words from Charles Spurgeon: “I may not have many more opportunities of preaching, and I make up my mind to this one thing, that I will waste no time upon secondary themes, but when I do preach it shall be the gospel, or something very closely bearing upon it. I will endeavour each time [...]
