The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon, the People’s Preacher (and Rap Song!)

***BONUS MATERIAL: “The Spurgeon Rap.” A friend just sent me a cool rap song about Charles Spurgeon. Listen to it here. ***

I am currently attending the Shepherds’ Conference, a three day intensive that is driven by accurate expository preaching. (Read my article on it from last year here.)

One of the books a friend bought for me is called “The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon.” Guess what he talks about primarily? (See below the video for a sample of his emphasis.) I’m excited to start reading it.

In the mean time, here’s a great one hour documentary on Spurgeon called, “Charles Spurgeon: The People’s Preacher” that hits all the high points of his life. Save this link and watch it another day if you don’t have the time, but do watch it!

Here’s a sample taken from the book of what he said to sinners:

There are some in this place, who if they were labeled this morning as to where they are going, would have to be directed “to hell.”

Angry Atheist Hates “Sudden Death” Posts!

I recently banned an atheist from my blog for excessively rude and nasty language. He contacted me via my personal email and you can read it below. Following is my gracious response and condition for restoration which I hope he accepts.

You can censor me from your blog. Big deal. You’re still scum. You’re still a ghoul. You’re still a member of a death cult. You care nothing about that boy and its toll on his family. You only care about reinforcing your own beliefs and your twisted theology. It’s that simple. And I know what they are going through. I just hope none of them had to read your vile [vile curse word deleted]. You and [Ray] Comfort and [Tony] Miano are the same. You all disgust me.

Thanks for your response. I’m sorry that you are so angry with my Sudden Death posts.
