“If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.”
AUTHOR: Charles Haddon
(CH) Spurgeon (/ˈhædən ˈspɜːrdʒən/; 19 June
1834 – 31 January 1892) was a British Particular
Baptist preacher.
Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations, among whom he is known as the
"Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed
Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession
of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological
tendencies in the Church of his day.
Spurgeon
was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38
years. He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and
later he left the denomination over doctrinal convictions. In 1867, he started
a charity organisation which is now called Spurgeon's
and works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him
posthumously.
Spurgeon
was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an
autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry,
hymns and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated
into many languages
during his lifetime. Spurgeon produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought
and precise exposition. His oratory skills held his listeners spellbound in the
Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages
to be among the best in Christian literature.
