Bacon Charles Haddon Spurgeon is considered by many to be one of God's choicest gifts to His church in Britain, and even throughout the world. From the day of his conversion as a lad of sixteen until the day of his death, he had a single eye to the glory of God. 2 Spurgeon: Heir of the Puritans Rev. James Spurgeon His father, John Spurgeon, then aged twenty-four, was a clerk in a coal yard, and also the honorary pastor of the Independent (or Con- gregational) Church at Tollesbury.

  • The Search for Real Christianity: Nineteenth-Century England for a Number of Lessons, We Have Been Looking at Church History In
    Reformation & Modern Church History Lesson 31, Page 1 The Search for Real Christianity: Nineteenth-Century England For a number of lessons, we have been looking at church history in America. Now we go back to the continent of Europe and to England for this lesson. The prayer I will open with comes from the prayer book of the Church of England, from what is called “The Lesser Peace and Fast.” One of the celebration days on the church calendar of the Church of England has to do with a man whose name will come up in today’s lesson, Charles Simeon. On that particular day in the prayer book, this prayer relates to the life and testimony of Charles Simeon. So, as we begin this lesson, I would like for us to use this prayer, thanking the Lord for Simeon and other faithful ministers whom we will be talking about during this time. Let us pray. O loving Lord, we know that all things are ordered by Thine unswerving wisdom and unbounded love. Grant us in all things to see Thy hand, that following the example of Charles Simeon, we may walk with Christ with all simplicity and serve Thee with a quiet and contented mind through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and with the Holy Spirit—one God forever and ever. Amen. As we think about the history of Christianity in England in the nineteenth century, we begin, of course, with the Church of England, and we begin with the Broad Church. In one of Henry Fielding’s novels, he has a character who says this, “When I mention religion, I mean the Christian religion and not only the Christian religion but the Protestant religion and not only the Protestant religion but the Church of England.” And that was probably the attitude of many people who were members of the church in England in the nineteenth century, particularly members of what was called the Broad Church or adherents to the Broad Church philosophy.

  • Introduction: How Many of You Have Heard of William Carey, the Father Of
    Introduction: How many of you have heard of William Carey, the father of modern missions? Ironically, growing up Catholic in India, I had never heard or read about him. At age 22 I started my first job as a journalist with The Statesman newspaper group, “directly descended from The Friend of India”. When at age 25 I left India for graduate school in the US I had a dream to return to launch a magazine of my own. That was not to be as I then settled in Canada. At age 33, after becoming a follower of Jesus, I started attending BBC. A lover of books, my first ministry was in the library, the same one over there. It was in this church library I finally read about William Carey who, together with his missionary colleagues, launched India’s first periodicals (including The Friend of India) in 1818 - yes, 200 years ago! At age 55, God gave me the vision to return to India to launch a bilingual magazine to give voice to India’s majority Backward Castes – the Dalits, the Tribals and the OBCs. Anybody who came into my editor’s office in New Delhi saw a poster with a picture of William Carey and his inspiring motto: Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God! Just as I introduced many there to my hero, William Carey and his source of inspiration, I hope you will permit me to do so with you this morning. Let us pray … As a journalist I embraced what the “prince of preachers” Charles Spurgeon had said, we should have the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other! But before him, Carey had said, “To know the will of God, we need an open Bible and an open map.” In his humble cobbler’s workshop in England he had created a world map on which he noted details of the demographics of various nations that he gleaned from reading books by explorers including Captain Cook.

  • JOHN GILL and JUSTIFICATION from ETERNITY by Jonny White
    GLORYING IN CHRIST: JOHN GILL AND JUSTIFICATION FROM ETERNITY by Jonny White John Gill (1697-1771) is known as a Bible expositor, theologian, and defender of Christian orthodoxy. He was a deep, thorough, and meticulous thinker, defending what he understood to be biblical truth. He often dealt with controversial subjects and sought to clarify in detail scriptural teaching on important doctrines. One important and controversial doctrine that Gill thoroughly dealt with was the doctrine of justification. One controversial aspect of justification involves the timing of justification. This paper will argue that Gill held to justification from eternity, meaning justification actually occurred in the eternal decree of God to justify His elect. The importance Gill places on this particular doctrine can be better appreciated when it is understood how Gill arrives at his particular assertions. His view of justification from eternity will be approached by examining his definition of justification, his view of the time of justification, and how justification is applied. The conclusion will summarize why this subject was important to Gill. Gill’s theology is rooted in historic orthodox Christian theology. Further, it is rooted in Protestant theology. Even further, Gill finds congeniality with Calvinistic and Puritan theology.1 In a day and age when Deism was infecting the churches of England, Gill stood firmly against any kind of deviation from orthodox Christology.2 He is credited 1 Gill also holds Baptist theology as a further elucidation of the truth. 2 John Gill, A Body of Doctrinal Divinity (London: 1893. Reprint, Arkansas: The Baptist Standard Bearer, 1984), 162-7.

  • Baptist Counterpart of John Wesley England, 1834-1892 Following Is A
    Charles Spurgeon “Prince of Preachers” Baptist counterpart of John Wesley England, 1834-1892 Following is a quote from sermon Spurgeon gave on March 8, 1874 at London’s Metropolitan Tabernacle. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." "You young men, who come to London amidst its vices, shun everything that is akin to lewdness or leads on to unchasity, for your bodies were bought with your Lord’s lifeblood, and they are not yours to trifle with. Shun the strange woman, her company, her wine, her glances, her house, her songs, her resorts. Your bodies are not yours to injure by self-indulgence of any sort. Keep them pure and chaste for that heavenly Bridegroom who has bought them with his blood. And then your soul is bought too. I was obliged to mention the body, because it is mentioned here, and it is so needful it should be kept pure. But keep the soul pure. Christ has not bought these eyes that they should read novels calculated to lead me into vanity and vice, such as are published nowadays. Christ has not bought this brain of mine that I may revel in the perusal of works of blasphemy and filthiness. He has not given me a mind that I may drag it through the mire with the hope of washing it clean again.… Your whole manhood belongs to God if you are a Christian.

  • The Superiority of Calvinism (3-8-1959)
    1 THE SUPERIORITY OF CALVINISM Preached March 8, 1959, by Pastor Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas In the past few years, there has been a very noticeable revival of the Calvinistic doctrine of Unconditional Election, indicated among other things, by the publication of many books written in defense of it. This truth, which had slumbered for nearly a generation, is now beginning to shake itself like a mighty giant. The proof of this doctrine is so forceful, and its position in the scriptures is so incontestable, that few are bold enough to challenge it. Those who do oppose the Doctrines of Grace usually resort to subtlety and dishonesty by clouding the issues and misrepresenting the truth. But, when the clear-cut issues are openly faced, Calvinism always walks off without a scratch. One very ostentatious truth of the superiority of Calvinism is the history of theological writings; the works written in favor of Arminianism are generally buried and forgotten, but the writings of the great Calvinistic thinkers continue to walk out of the path and wage war on error. In fact, there is generally a stamp of disgrace associated with Arminianism. The name of Pelagius is linked with shame and contempt, but Augustine, his second century opponent, is still loved, studied, and universally respected by the theological world. Some might venture to read the works of James Arminius and consider his views, but few are willing to receive the brand which is associated with his name. Those who adhere to his doctrines would much rather be called moderate-Calvinists.

  • A PRIMER on REFORMED THEOLOGY by Dr. James E. Means
    1 A PRIMER ON REFORMED THEOLOGY Reformed Theology Contrasted with Arminian, Dispensational, Keswick Theologies Dr. James Means – April 2006 The Solas Of The Reformation Sola Scriptura: Scripture only! o A Challenge to authority of Rome! o A Challenge to the individualism & claims of authority in some of today’s popular spiritual movements! o Scripture as interpreted and understood only by sound hermeneutics! Sola Christus: Christ only! o There is “no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12) o Rejection of “works”, including baptism, church membership, etc. Sola Gratia: Grace only! o Not by works or by self-effort or self-will but by a sovereign act of God’s grace! Sola Fide: Faith only! o By grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone produces justification followed by sanctification ending in glorification Sola Deo Gloria: Glory to God only! o All is to the glory of God alone. Hence, the chief business of man/woman is to “glorify God and enjoy him forever!” We Deny … We Affirm Sola Scriptura: o We affirm the inerrant Scripture to be the sole source of written divine revelation. The Bible alone teaches all that is necessary for our salvation from sin and is the standard by which all Christian behavior must be measured. o We deny that any creed, council, or individual may bind a Christian‟s conscience, that the Holy Spirit speaks independently of or contrary to what is set forth in the Bible, or that personal spiritual experience can ever be a vehicle of revelation.

  • The Millennial Position of Spurgeon
    TMSJ 7/2 (Fall 1996) 183-212 THE MILLENNIAL POSITION OF SPURGEON Dennis M. Swanson Seminary Librarian The notoriety of Charles Haddon Spurgeon has caused many since his time to claim him as a supporter of their individual views regarding the millennium. Spurgeon and his contemporaries were familiar with the four current millennial views—amillennialism, postmillennialism, historic premillennialism, and dispensational premillennialism—though the earlier nomenclature may have differed. Spurgeon did not preach or write extensively on prophetic themes, but in his sermons and writings he did say enough to produce a clear picture of his position. Despite claims to the contrary, his position was most closely identifiable with that of historic premillennialism in teaching the church would experience the tribulation, the millennial kingdom would be the culmination of God's program for the church, a thousand years would separate the resurrection of the just from that of the unjust, and the Jews in the kingdom would be part of the one people of God with the church. * * * * * In the last hundred years eschatology has probably been the subject of more writings than any other aspect of systematic theology. Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-92) did not specialize in eschatology, but supporters of almost every eschatological position have appealed to him as an authority to support their views. Given Spurgeon's notoriety, the volume of his writings, and his theological acumen, those appeals are not surprising. A sampling of conclusions will illustrate this point. Lewis A. Drummond states, "Spurgeon confessed to be a pre-millennialist."1 Peter Masters, current 1Lewis A. Drummond, Spurgeon: Prince of Preachers (Grand Rapids: Kregel, 1993) 650.

This book, therefore, makes no apology for presenting him as “heir of the Puri- tans.” In his preaching of Christ, in his controversies, and in his per- sonal life, he would not have been what he was without them. In the Sermons there are embedded many autobiographical glimpses of the Prince of Preachers, and I have garnered not a few for this book. I was brought up in the Spurgeon tradition. My parents knew Spurgeon well and were often at his house in their younger days. Many were the stories about him told in our family.

Charles Spurgeon’s Centrality of The Sword and the Trowel was Christ III. Charles Spurgeon’s Christ-likeness in The Sword and the Trowel CHARLES SPURGEON’S LOVE FOR CHRIST: I. Charles Spurgeon’s Reasoning of The Sword and the Trowel Charles Haddon Spurgeon, well known for being called the “prince of preachers” with his massive 63 volume set of sermons, was one of the most famous Baptist preachers of all time. Many others might know him for his well known commentary on the book of Psalms, The Treasury of David, or his devotional talks like Morning by Morning or Evening by Evening. Charles Spurgeon was well known for his famous books like, Commentating on Commentaries, All of Grace, Lectures to My Students, or even his massive four volume autobiography. Some only know him because of his fine love for cigars but it seems that many have not heard or known about his magazine which was published throughout his ministry as a pastor. Charles Spurgeon started a magazine in the year of 1865 called The Sword and the Trowel, and would continue it until his death in 1892. This was a publication which published articles including his sermon texts from the previous month, articles about Christianity, articles for being a pastor, articles about Spurgeon himself and his church as well as writings and reviews of the Reformed and Puritans’ works which he loved dearly, to even updates of the orphanages in which he had a part to play in throughout his ministry.
