If you have never listened to someone read a Charles Spurgeon sermon.....you might want to start with this one.....The Sons Of God.....just Google it and it will come right up. I'm recommending it because if you listen closely you will hear how he could turn a phrase such at times that you just have to sit there amazed at how he can explain something that upon reflection you couldn't even come up with an alternative way to explain it. There was a gift of preaching given to him. At least listen in for yourself and see if there might be something about the lament of today being a very weak age for preaching.
I did kind of laugh at one point as I was on my walk today with the headphones on.....it about 34 degrees....and exhilarating....and it started snowing.....those tiny little crystal type of snowflakes. The walk was about fifty minutes....and it only snowed for ten minutes max.....but as I was going up the only rise that resembles a hill on the course that I walk....and as the tiny snowflakes were hitting me in the face....and I was just thrilled anyway by the coolness and the chill that makes....me anyway.....feel alive....the person reading the sermon as if it were Spurgeon himself.....(I believe that it was Charles Koelsch).....read this from the sermon...."so as you walk up that hill with the snow hitting you in the face." (Hey....it's happened before....and I'm sure this type of thing has happened to you also....but it still at least brings a smile.) The inference here was for us to press on.....in spite of difficulties....for if we are to be heirs of the crown....we are also heirs of the cross.
