Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Particular Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the “Prince of Preachers”. This despite the fact that he was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, against liberalism and pragmatic theological tendencies even in his day.
In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people,[1] often up to 10 times each week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years.[2] He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later had to leave that denomination.[3] In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon’s which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon’s College, which was named after him posthumously.
Here is another bit of Godly Wisdom……….
“The church must take right ground in regards to politics….The time has come for Christians to vote for honest men, and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them….
God cannot sustain this free and blessed country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground. Politics are a part of religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to their country as part of their duty to God…..
God will bless or curse this nation according to the course Christians take in politics.”
WOW!
The Godly Wisdom words of Rev. Charles G. Finney
He is so right on! Why are not more Christians hearing the call?
Charles Grandison Finney (August 29, 1792(1792-08-29) – August 16, 1875) was a Presbyterian and Congregationalist figure in the Second Great Awakening. His influence during this period was enough that he has been called The Father of Modern Revivalism.[1]
Finney was known for his innovations in preaching and religious meetings such as having women pray in public meetings of mixed gender, development of the “anxious seat”, a place where those considering becoming Christians could come to receive prayer, and public censure of individuals by name in sermons and prayers.[2] He was also known for his use of extemporaneous preaching.
