I came to hear Iain Murray, Spurgeons (audio sermons now on cd,s, etc) Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Pastor Al Martin...what a wonderful time that is...one is hard put to stop, yet the body and old age wears me down. After some 4 hours or so I look at what I will not hear until a next time, Lord willing. Ah, to be 50 again and read faster, do everything faster...but thanks for all involved in putting all of this greatest of all preaching in the internet. Thank you very much! w
Murray speaking on Spurgeon is like a flame being put to the burner. What Revival might lukewarm hearts flagging under nationalist-laden American Christianity, undergo under the kind of firey faithfullness and sacrificial living, these two men personified!
Perhaps the best expressed comment I've ever read on this channel since its inception fifteen years ago. Thank you for taking the time to post it. Peace to you in our Lord Christ Jesus, sister.
It has often been remarked that in this age we are all little men. A hundred years ago, or more, if we had gone through the churches, we might have readily found a number of ministers of great note. But now we are all little men. . . our names shall never be remembered, for we do nothing to deserve it. There is scarce a man alive now upon this earth; there are plenty to be found who call themselves men, but they are the husks of men, the life has gone from them. . The littleness of Christians of this age results from the littleness of their consecration to Christ. The age of John Owen was the day of great preachers; but let me tell you, that that was the age of great consecration. Those great preachers whose names we remember, were men who counted nothing their own: they were driven out from their benefices, because they could not conform to the Established Church, and they gave up all they had willingly to the Lord. They were hunted from place to place; the disgraceful five-mile act would not permit them to come within five miles of any market town; they wandered here and there to preach the gospel to a few poor sheep, being fully given up to their Lord. Those were foul times; but they promised they would walk the road fair or foul, and they did walk it knee deep in mud; and they would have walked it if it had been knee deep in blood too. They became great men; and if we were, as they were, wholly given up to God-if we could say of ourselves, "From the crown of my head to the sole of my foot, there is not a drop of blood that is not wholly God's; all my time, all my talents, everything I have is God's"-if we could say that, we should be strong like Samson, for the consecrated must be strong. -- Charles Spurgeon, Samson Conquered (sermon)

Thank you for taking the time to record that quotation. We can only pray for more listenership. I will do the little I can.
