Pastor Charles Spurgeon – A Famous Baptist Preacher!

Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

Pastor Charles Spurgeon, a renowned figure in the Christian world, is certainly someone to look up to when it comes to preaching the Gospel. His words have touched countless lives and his teachings have brought people closer to Jesus Christ. It is truly a blessing for anyone who has had the opportunity to listen carefully to the Gospel being preached, just as the Bereans did in ancient times. By immersing ourselves in God’s word regularly, we can discern truth from falsehoods that may be presented by others. We should always test what we hear against the Bible itself rather than getting swayed by smooth-talking terms or persuasive arguments.

Charles Spurgeon’s emphasis on directing people towards Jesus Christ is commendable. He understood that God’s grace alone can genuinely save us through faith. While some may label him as a 5-point Calvinist, it is important to remember that no human being possesses perfect doctrine due to our inherent imperfections. Only Jesus Christ himself embodies perfection as both fully man and fully God. Though I personally do not subscribe to all parts of Calvinism, I firmly believe that God can use His people regardless of their theological leanings or differences of opinion. As followers of Christ, our ultimate goal should be pointing others towards Him and helping them develop a deeper relationship with their Savior. Even apostle Paul himself said, “We all see through a glass darkly, but then face to face, we all know in part, but then we shall know even as we are known.” ~ Bill Greguska

1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Pastor Charles Spurgeon And 21 Of His Quotes!

Pastor Charles Spurgeon Was A Famous Baptist Preacher!

Paul wrote to Timothy, a young pastor, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 NIV). But the word must be made relevant to the topics of the day. I believe it was the British Baptist preacher, Pastor Charles Spurgeon, who once said that the preacher must prepare his sermons with a Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other. This will give him much insight into the issues of the day.

The word of God is divided into two central teachings, the law, and the Gospel. I always capitalize the word “Gospel.” I emphasize that the Gospel must always be predominant, but the law must never be left out. The law always tells us what we should do and what we have failed to do. It still exposes sin, but it can never save. That is, it can never forgive our sins.

The Pilgrim’s Progress

Spurgeon knew that The Pilgrim’s Progress was an aid that provided a pathway for Scriptural teaching to percolate down deep into Susannah’s heart. Susannah wrote: “I do not think my beloved had, at that time, any other thought concerning me than to help a struggling soul Heavenward, but I was greatly impressed by his concern for me, and the book became very precious as well as helpful.” Spurgeon’s pastoral interest in Susannah soon grew into romantic love for her. In August of 1854, Charles and Susannah were engaged, and in January of 1856, they were married. The Pilgrim’s Progress served as a road map that helped two young pilgrims navigate marriage challenges, ministry demands, health issues, and attacks on their Biblical convictions.

Galatians 1:9 As we have already said, now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!

The Life Of Pastor Charles Spurgeon

Do Not Be Deceived

For example, the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (ESV), “Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” That covers everybody, especially since Jesus pointed out that we can offend God’s law even with our thoughts. Thanks be to God, Paul doesn’t end at verse 10. He says in verse 11, “And such were some of you. But you were washed, sanctified, and justified in the Lord Jesus Christ’s name and by the Spirit of our God.” That’s the Gospel. The Gospel does not excuse sin. It does not overlook sin; it does not license sin. It washes it away.

Through faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross, it pronounces forgiveness, sets us apart unto God, and declares us righteous in God’s sight. That’s the Gospel. The fruit of the Gospel is that it gives us a new heart that wants, even longs, to please God. We sometimes fail (every day when we include our thoughts). Sometimes it will be an awful failure that disgraces Christ and us, but the moment we humbly confess our sins, God forgives us and renews us again.

Conclusion

So the preacher must be faithful to preach both law and Gospel. It is the most important thing that he will ever do. It is also the most humbling thing he will ever do because he preaches to himself before preaching one word to the flock. I ask for your prayers that I would always be faithful in sharing with you God’s Word.
