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 …

How Many Bars?

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).

A Slander on the Oyster

Posted on Thursday, March 13, 2008Wednesday, January 27, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“I heard one say the other day that a certain preacher had no more gifts for the ministry than an oyster, and in my own judgment this was a slander on the oyster, for that worthy bivalve shows great discretion in his openings, and knows when to close” (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, p. …

If It Be Truth

Posted on Wednesday, March 12, 2008Thursday, January 28, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

“Be sure you have the truth, and then be sure you hold it. Be ready for fresh truth, if it be truth, but be very chary how you subscribe to the belief that a better light has been found than that of the sun” (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, p. 208).
