If you return from church today and think something like....'That was nice"....and immediately your thoughts are turned to the weather...or the bean salad that you have to make for the picnic....or if you men are wondering what preseason NFL game to watch....or what to do until the U. S. Amateur Championship starts at 3 pm.....you might want to challenge yourself to listen to what pulpit sermons used to be like. The following was first posted on January 16, 2021
"One Thing You Lack...."
I'm pleading with you to listen to this sermon by Charles Spurgeon. Tomorrow.....the Lord's Day....as you stay home and stream your church service....not having to fuss about getting clothes ready for church....or your hair or makeup....or wondering about the tire pressure on the way to church....or even going back and forth in your mind weather staying home during the pandemic is the right this to do....give yourself time and listen to this before your regular service begins.
Spurgeon gave Oh Lord, Revive Thy Work...on a Wednesday evening....April 7, 1858. It was almost three years to the day before hostilities broke out in America's Civil War....but Spurgeon began his sermon with the great revival that had broken out in America....challenging his Great Britain to do as much and more.
The title I chose for this post comes from a story that Spurgeon told about George Whitefield. How many times have we been in Whitefield's exact same situation....but more importantly....who among us today might the title be directed? It's 48 wonderful minutes....and easy to Google!
Note: I came across a YouTube on J. C. Ryle that I would like to add to this recommendation....just Google...J C Ryle...Give Me Your Heart
