So Stand Straight

Posted on Monday, March 31, 2008Wednesday, January 13, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“We do not go into the pulpit to slouch about, and to look free and easy, but we go there upon very solemns business, and our posture should be such as becomes our mission” (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, p. 281).

Out of the Groove

Posted on Friday, March 28, 2008Thursday, January 14, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“It would be very easy to prove that revivals of religion have usually been accompanied, if not caused, by a considerable amount of preaching out of doors, or in unusual places” (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, p. 236).

Articulate Snoring

Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008Thursday, January 14, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“Our preaching must not be articulate snoring. There must be power, life, energy, vigour. We must throw our whole selves into it, and show that the zeal of God’s house has eaten us up” (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, p. 226).

Terriers of Orthodoxy

Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008Friday, January 15, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“If we really believe the truth, we shall be decided about it. Certainly we are not to show our decision by that obstinate, furious, wolfish bigotry which cuts off every other body from the chance and hope of salvation and the possibility of being regenerate or even decently honest if they happen to differ from …

Posted on Friday, March 21, 2008Monday, January 18, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

Cheerfulness is not Froth

Posted on Thursday, March 20, 2008Monday, January 18, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“A great distinction exists between holy cheerfulness, which is a virtue, and that general levity, which is a vice. There is a levity which has not enough heart to laugh, but trifles with everything; it is flippant, hollow, unreal. A hearty laugh is no more levity than a hearty cry. I speak of that religious …

Stay Real

Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008Wednesday, January 20, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“We must put away all notion of self-importance. God will not bless the man who thinks himself great. To glory even in the work of God the Holy Spirit in yourself is to tread dangerously near to self-adulation. ‘Let another praise thee, and not think own lips,’ and be very glad when that other has …

Yelling Is Not Preaching

Posted on Monday, March 17, 2008Wednesday, January 20, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“We must cultivate a cogent as well as a clear style; our speech must be forceful. Some imagine that this consists in speaking loudly, but i can assure them they are in error. Nonsense does not improve by being bellowed . . . Let us be forcible by reason of the excellence of our matter, …

Deep Preachers

Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008Wednesday, January 27, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“I believe that many ‘deep’ preachers are simply so because they are like dry wells with nothing whatever in them, except decaying leaves, a few stones, and perhaps a dead cat or two” (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, p. 210).
