Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, Vol. 1 THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY COLLECTIONS LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS VOLUME 1 by Charles H.

AGES Software Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1996 2 LECTURES TO MY STUDENTS VOLUME 1 A SELECTION FROM ADDRESSES DELIVERED TO THE STUDENTS OF METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE. BY C. H. SPURGEON. PRESIDENT. 3 CONTENTS.

Although delivered long ago, the sermons have the same relevance, pungency, and convicting power as when first delivered to the large audiences which heard him in the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. Undoubtedly this will be, as claimed by the publishers, one of the greatest sets of sermons in the history of the church.” Baptist Quarterly (England): “Pilgrim Publications has recently undertaken the mammoth task of republishing the 63 volumes of Spurgeon’s sermons, as well as other titles of his. Of Spurgeon, the preacher, we say ‘Take and read’. The best way to discover the real Spurgeon is to read his sermons. The range of his preaching is remarkable. Spurgeon lived his own words.” Review and Expositor: “Pilgrim Publications is making Spurgeon’s works available to those who are being caught up in a renewed interest in this master preacher. Though in many ways Charles Spurgeon was a child of his own times, his sermons possess a surprising timelessness. His warm devotion to Jesus Christ, his common sense, his homely wit, and his informal style combine to make his sermons a delight to read today.” Bookstore Journal: “Just to know the stature and reputation of the author is sufficient without any man’s recommendation! Thousands give testimony to the value of Spurgeon’s sermons in their ministry and upon individual lives. His dual ministry, that of the spoken and written word, is timeless, speaking of the perennial power of the Word of God as it speaks to man at all times.” Moody Monthly: “One of the most remarkable undertakings of reprinting rich Christian literature, long out of print, has been announced by Pilgrim Publications of Pasadena, Texas . I would say, without any hesitation at all, that these volumes (Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit) form the greatest collection of sermons by one minister of the Word of God that we have in the English language.” (Dr. Wilbur M. Smith). Christianity Today: “For those who were not privileged to be numbered among his (Spurgeon’s) congregation at New Park Street Chapel or later at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, it is indeed fortunate that the sermons of 5 this master of the pulpit were recorded on the printed page. Spurgeon’s sermons are filled with the necessary ingredients of good preaching and have set standard rarely reached in today’s pulpits it is indeed gratifying that this incomparable series of sermons is being made available once again.” Sword of the Lord: “We are glad that Pilgrim Publications, in Pasadena, Texas, is now reprinting Spurgeon’s sermons. Previously, a selection of twenty volumes of Spurgeon’s sermons was published widely, they are now out of print. However, these were only selected sermons from the whole. We are glad that all of Spurgeon’s sermons will now be reproduced just as originally published by Spurgeon in Spurgeon’s day.” Australian Baptist: “Above all else we commend Spurgeon because of the Biblical content of his sermons. Here is sound doctrine, the doctrines of grace. Here is white-hot evangelism, and at the same time evidence of the heart of a loving pastor. Preachers and evangelists will find inspiration for their ministry in these volumes.” New Life (Australia): “The republication of these volumes could prove to be a powerful preservative for evangelical Christianity. These volumes complete and unabridged contain some of the finest preaching this world has ever heard. How much one would like to say! The best thing is that you procure a copy and delve into its heart-warming and inspiring contents.” Evangelical Baptist (Canada): “Charles H. Spurgeon, by general agreement, was one of the great preachers of the ages. His weekly sermons were avidly read as they came from the publisher. Then, each year, the annual volume appeared under the title, ‘Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit.’ Those volumes are to be printed now just as they appeared from the presses in former time. A well illustrated brochure, The Pictorial Life of C. H. Spurgeon, is worth more than the fifty cents which it will cost you.” Prairie Overcomer: “Pilgrim Publications has launched what must be one of the most ambitious reprint projects of the twentieth century. We refer to the republication of C. H. Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit sermons in their original form, completely unabridged.” 6 PUBLISHER’S FORWARD The Pastor’s College began with one student, Mr. T. W. Medhurst, who first contacted Spurgeon about the matter of salvation. After his conversion, Medhurst wanted to study for the ministry under Spurgeon. Spurgeon first assigned him to Mr. C. H. Hosken as his teacher, then later Mr. George Rogers became the tutor and the small beginning developed into a college for ministerial students. More and more students enrolled, and the Pastor’s College became widely known. With the help of Spurgeon, its library became a great asset to the student body. The early tutors of the college included James Spurgeon, David Gracey, Archibald Ferguson, and W. R. Selway. A later staff was composed of Fergusson, Rogers, Gracey, and F. G. Merchant. Lectures were of course given in class rooms, but there was also “the Question Oak” a large tree at Mr. Spurgeon’s residence. Often the students would gather under the tree and ask questions of Spurgeon, and he would give the answers. On Friday afternoon, the students were usually asked to exhibit their own ability as preachers and that without prior knowledge of the subject matter. Spurgeon called upon a student to give a message on Zaccheus. The student arose and said: “Zaccheus was little of stature, so am I. Zaccheus was up a tree, so am I. Zaccheus came down, so will I.” The students, as well as Mr. Spurgeon, applauded the “ingenious” performance. The College had an annual conference at which time many of the former students would gather for fellowship and preaching. 7 THE PASTOR’S COLLEGE. THE Pastors’ College was commenced upon a very small scale in the year 1856. Since that date it has educated and sent forth into the ministry not less than three hundred and fifty men, of whom, after deductions by death and other causes, about three hundred remain in the Baptist denomination, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. In addition to this, a far larger number of men receive gratuitous education in the evening, such as may fit them to be city missionaries, colporteurs, or useful private Christians. The institution receives no man in order to make him a preacher, but it is established to help in the further education of brethren who have been preaching with some measure of success for two years at the least. Many men of earnest spirit and established Christian character are hindered in their efforts to do good by the slenderness of their knowledge. Conscious of their own defects, they endeavor to improve themselves, but the absence of a guide, their need of books, and their scanty time, all prevent their making progress. These are the men whom the Pastors’ College welcomes. Men in whom piety, zeal, and the indwelling Spirit are to be found need not fear refusal at our doors on account of poverty, if they possess those gifts of utterance which are essential to the preacher. The College aims at training preachers rather than scholars. To develop the faculty of ready speech, to help them to understand the word of God, and to foster the spirit of consecration, courage, and confidence in God, are objects so important that we put all other matters into a secondary position. If a student should learn a thousand things, and yet fail to preach the gospel acceptably, his College course will have missed its true design. Should the pursuit of literary prizes and the ambition for classical honors so occupy his mind as to divert his attention from his life work, they are perilous rather than beneficial. To be wise to win souls is the wisdom ministers should possess. In the Pastors’ College definite doctrines are held and taught. We hold by the doctrines of grace and the old orthodox faith, and have no sympathy with the countless theological novelties of the present day, which are novelties only in outward form: in substance they are repetitions of errors exploded long ago. Our standing in doctrinal matters is well known, and we make no profession of latitudinarian charity, yet we find no failure in 8 the number of earnest spirits who rally to our standard, believing that in truth alone, can true freedom be found.

  • 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.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • 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.

  • FROM PASTOR DAVE: Garbage and Guts
    501 NW 16th Street, Grand Rapids, Minnesota 55744 (218) 326-8508 www.saintand.org June/July 2018 FROM PASTOR DAVE: Garbage and guts. I don’t really spend too much time working at Gayle’s resort, but when our son Jake is not around, I get the job of garbage and guts each morning. It’s just as glamorous as it sounds. Empty the garbage cans and compost buckets into a trailer and take it all out to the barn. Then it’s on to the fish cleaning shack. Buckets of guts in the trailer. Hose down everything. Scrub walls, counters and floors. Oh the smell of Pine- Sol! I could go into even more detail, but you get the picture. Kind of gross. Kind of smelly. But garbage and guts are simply a daily part of having a resort. So are the “garbage and guts” that come our way in the course of our everyday lives. It could simply be the chores that need to be done that keep us both occupied and from things that are more fun. The bills need to be paid. Appointments need to be kept. The pets need to go to the veterinarian. The kids need to go to the clinic, or need a ride to this, that and everything. Windows and dishes need to be washed. Laundry needs to get done. Ugh. The garbage and guts of life get more unpleasant at times. There’s often the hard work of tending to relationships. There are too many expenses and not enough income. Sometimes those clinic appointments become admissions to hospitals.

CZECH (Under the Direction of John Weaver) ABSTRACT This project opens space for looking at the world in a musical way where “jamming” with music through playing and listening to it helps one resist a more standardized and dualistic way of seeing the world. Instead of having a traditional dissertation, this project is organized like a record album where each chapter is a Track that contains an original song that parallels and plays off the subject matter being discussed to make a more encompassing, multidimensional, holistic, improvisational, and critical statement as the songs and riffs move along together to tell why an arts-based musical way of being can be a choice and alternative in our lives.

  • The Catholic Core of a Celebrated Composition
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette 4610 English: Individual Authors: J.R.R. Tolkien English Student Research Fall 2017 The Catholic Core of a Celebrated Composition Alexander B. Koch Follow this and additional works at: https://epublications.marquette.edu/english_4610jrrt THE CATHOLIC CORE OF A CELEBRATED COMPOSITION Alexander B. Koch "I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations…” This quote, by famed author John Ronald Reuel (J.R.R.) Tolkien, highlights his obvious distain for allegory. Yet, despite an undeviating opinion on the subject, his greatest work The Lord of the Rings, is replete with free- floating allegory to Christian characters. Characters and situations that suggest Biblical situations, both narratively and on the level of spirituality and ethics. Each character within biblical text correlates with one or more characters in Tolkien’s work, thus free floating. Tolkien is a devoutly religious author who processes the world, including his own fantasies, through the lens of his faith. While Tolkien draws from different elements of theology in several different ways—such as interchanging his characters to represent various aspects of key Biblical figures— it is clear that Tolkien assigned a moral, free-flowing, yet religious allegorical backbone to his work. The Bible begins with the Old Testament: an overview of God’s apparent creation of life and all its inhabitants. Tolkien’s complete history of Middle Earth, The Simarillion, is the foundation story overlooked by most readers. To some, the first is The Hobbit. In that tale, the protagonist and his companions are tasked with an almost unmanageable deed and, although a few allegorical characters present themselves here, the bulk of said parable is within the trilogy: The Lord of the Rings.
