My First “200,000+ Views” YouTube Video

It’s baaaa-aack!

I cannot believe that this video continues to get over a thousand hits  a day, but I’m really glad because the Gospel gets preached—three times in a scant four minutes—to my target audience: unbelievers!

Facts:

  • Over 11,000 people have left comments (mostly, really nasty ones, so be warned.)
  • 561 likes
  • 6,577 dislikes
  • I believe the interviewee is still unsaved.

Why would I post a video that makes me look bad? Why am I proud that so many have watched it? Simply put, the Gospel is preached. But I have other reasons:

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.”
