God’s love for His wayward creatures is powerfully and clearly demonstrated at the cross of Jesus. Our great sin requires a great forgiveness which is offered to us at great cost to our God and Savior.

“…there are some of your members of churches who will one day be members of the pit.” – C.H.S. It is sadly true that many who confess to know Jesus, don’t (Matthew 7:23-24). Many don’t even have a category for ‘false professors’ (I didn’t).  They assume everyone who has prayed some form of the ‘sinner’s […]

~ To make light of the Light of the world is no small offense in the eyes of God. ~ “Ah! it is a solemn thing to make light of Christ. Despise a prince, and ye shall have little honour at the king’s hand for it; but despise the Son of God, and the Father […]

Having been convicted of murder, William Palmer was put to death on June 14th, 1856. The next morning, young Charles Spurgeon, reflecting on the events of the previous day, spoke on the perfect justice of God in condemning sinners.

Young Charles Spurgeon says of this sermon, “[it] is intended for those who are young in the fear of the Lord, that they may better understand this great starting point of God in the heart, the effectual calling of men by the Holy Spirit.” It came as a surprise to me that Spurgeon believed his […]

Young Charles Spurgeon had no shortage of comforting words (See sermons 5, 6, 13, 31, and 53), and while he took no pleasure in pointing out faults in the church, he considered it a loving act to show people where they were at odds with their God. This sermon (A Solemn Warning for all Churches) […]
