Pastor Charles Spurgeon – The Famous Baptist Preacher!

Pastor Charles Spurgeon the great British preacher!Please contact us if you have any questions or comments or want some encouragement.

Hearing the Gospel preached is a blessing to all who listen carefully as the Bereans did, so stay in God’s word as often as possible. Test the things you hear that people say by matching them up with the Bible itself, not by smooth-talking terms. The famous Pastor Charles Spurgeon will point you to Jesus Christ! I believe God’s grace can genuinely save us through faith alone. Below is an article about Charles Spurgeon and The Pilgrim’s Progress book.

I understand that Charles Spurgeon was a 5-point Calvinist, to which I do not personally subscribe. But like any Christian who knows the Lord, none of us are perfect in doctrine due to human imperfection. It is only God’s Word that is perfect. The only perfect God-man is Jesus Christ himself. I am not a Calvinist, yet God can use His people to point others to Himself in any way He chooses. 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.

 

 

 

 

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!

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 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.
