Ask Spurgeon

It's not something we often hear from the pulpit these days, but to heed the call to follow Jesus is to heed the call to war...not a conventional war for that matter, but something quite different, yet equally severe!

What is this war we wage...and who are the enemies?

There is a great battle being waged for God and for His truth against the enemies of the cross of Christ. 

This battle is fierce, it is dangerous and it is unlike any other. 

In Isaiah 63:1, the Lord Jesus is described as coming from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah. When questioned who He is, he replies, “It is I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” 

How do we know? How can we prove it?

It is hard enough for the children of God to experience those seasons and times of our lives where we feel we cannot pray. 

But for those who are seeking God, who feel that the weight of their sin is too great for an audience with a holy God, that feeling can be overwhelmingly desperate. 

Is that you? 

Not all prayers are the same: There are some that God seems to infuse with a certain divine power which, when prayed, almost echo with thunder.

Job believed that God is pleased to give power in prayer.  Have you ever wondered what happens when He does?

When we take possession of something, does it change how we behave? In many cases it does, for better or for worse.

If we are saved, not only have we become His, but He has become ours. What effect has this had on our lives?

I cannot tell what possessions you may have, how many you have, or how much you may value them. What I can say is that you will need to leave them all behind one day.

But if you are a believer, you will never have to leave behind your greatest possession. What is that? 

Of all the sin we can be guilty of, there is perhaps nothing more monstrous than pride. 

Spurgeon says, “It has nothing lovely in it, nothing in proportion, but everything in disorder. It is altogether the very reverse of the creatures which God has made, which are pure and holy.”

What can we do to get rid of it in our lives?

LISTEN and SHARE this answer from Charles Spurgeon.

In Psalm 29:4, the Psalmist describes the voice/word of God as “full of majesty.”

There’s a lot there!

What can we draw from that statement?

How can we understand what the Psalmist, under the divine influence of the Holy Spirit, was attempting to communicate with that short phrase concerning the majesty of the Word of God? 

There are some aspects of the evidences of a believers faith that are perhaps less explicit than others. They are those aspects that are more known to God and the individual than to others.

God's Word provides one such aspect, hidden in a wonderful promise to His children:

"They that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing." (Ps  34:10)

In this episode, Charles Spurgeon draws on those 5 words that present a beautiful description of the true Christian.
