The Gospel of Power

Charles Spurgeon is known as the prince of preachers for a good reason. This 17th century British pastor has left the largest written record of sermons of any pastor of any time or place. His morning and evening devotional books are still being read at the beginning and close of each day. And many of today's pastors have read his classic, Lectures to My Students (I had to read it for a class in college). 


As you start your work week, I thought I would give you a Spurgeon quote to chew on. 

"The Gospel does not need defending. If Jesus Christ is not alive and cannot fight His own battles, then Christianity is in a bad state. But He is alive and we have only to preach His gospel in all its simplicity, and the power that goes with it will be evidence of its divinity." (See Romans 1:16)

Have a great week ... and thanks for stopping. . .
