from Spurgeon’s sermon, “FAITH OMNIPOTENT” Friends! the Churches of Christ have no need of the Modern Machinery which has supplanted the Simplicity of Faith. I verily believe, if the Lord swept the church committees and missionary societies out of the universe, we would be better without them. I hope the Church will soon say, like David […]
If I have gone through the general routine of the worship of my church, and then think that I have done something acceptable to God, while yet my heart has not communed with him in humble repentance, or faith, or love, or joy, or consecration; I make a great mistake. You may keep on with […]
Acts 18:10 This should be a great encouragement to evangelize—since God has among the vilest of the vile, the most reprobate, the most debauched and drunken—an elect people who must be saved.

The vital spark! The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Light, Natural and Spiritual” No. 660. “You must be born again.” Do not think Christians are made by education; they are made by creation. You may wash a corpse as long as you please, and that corpse could be clean, but you cannot wash life into […]
PHYSICIANS OF NO VALUE First, let me expose the physicians who delude so many by their vain pretensions. Dr Sadducee Amongst the herd of deceivers, I single out one of the vilest first, an old-established doctor, who has had a wide practice amongst sin-sick souls – a wicked old poisoner he is, but for all […]
