You may not be familiar with this man. Charles Haden Spurgeon was a great preacher from the 1800’s. Here is a quote I received from Adrian Warnock who lives in England and has a daily blog. I would encourage you to click the link on the side of this page for more from Adrian.
“The gospel is a reasonable system, and it appeals to men’s understanding; it is a matter for thought and consideration, and it appeals to the conscience and the reflecting powers.![]()
Hence, if we do not teach men something, we may shout, “Believe! Believe! Believe!” but what are they to believe? Each exhortation requires a corresponding instruction, or it will mean nothing. “Escape!” From what? This requires for its answer the doctrine of the punishment of sin. “Fly!” But whither? Then must you preach Christ, and His wounds; yea, and the clear doctrine of atonement by sacrifice. “Repent!” Of what? Here you must answer such questions as, What is sin? What is the evil of sin? What are the consequences of sin ? “Be converted!” But what is it to be converted? By what power can we be converted? What from? What to? The field of instruction is wide if men are to be made to know the truth which saves. “That the soul be without knowledge, it is not good,” and it is ours as the Lord’s instruments to make men so to know the truth that they may believe it, and feel its power. We are not to try and save men in the dark, but in the power of the Holy Ghost we are to seek to turn them from darkness to light.”
We are not whistling in the dark, but we have a message the transforms men’s lives and ultimately turns the world upside down. Place your confidence in Jesus Christ and His gospel of grace.
We are a transformed people, changing the world
