Shows what a humble, dedicated man of God can accomplish without letters after his name.
It’s incredible the grit and work ethic of the Godly man. I pray to have the discipline of Spurgeon and thankfully have an amazing pastor who demonstrates that diligence in his daily life. Constantly serving the church and shepherding community along with individual discipleship and sermon planning
I believe our giftedness is completely related to our lack, or lack thereof of our laziness. Great channel brother. Thank you!!
Thanks for all your videos. I read Spurgeon often but would not want to compare myself to anyone. You either go on an unnecessary guilt trip or are filled with pride.
Wow, cheers to the stenographer! I had never heard this information before. As someone who transcribes audio for work, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to do that 1) live, and 2) by hand! Aw, that poor, nameless soul worked SO hard. Well, Jesus watched every minute of that person's efforts and will grant them their proper reward on that Day.
Spurgeon was only a year older than I am now. This is why I don't read many biographies. I already feel like a failure. Reading this stuff just depresses me more.
Glad to see a splurge on the Spurge! 😊 The Lord used All of Grace to help me understand the gospel, repent, and trust Jesus. SDG.
Amen! Finally flannel shirt season here in NC!
Thanks Matthew for another great video and l listened to the talk you gave on God and man. Like CHS l was converted at 15 in 1971. l remember reading hos autobiography which was wonderful. God bless you
Thank you for the video, this encourages me to prioritize my schedule and produce more for God and spend time with family. Entertainment, hobbies, collecting have been a distraction from the important things.
Pastor Matt was happy to hear you are feeling better and what a blessing to be part of a loving church. PTL 😊
I'm definitely going to check out the video you recommended on the Infinity of God and the Finitude of Man!
Praise God for your ministry.
Fascinating, challenging study. I had no idea! Thank you for posting!
Pastor Matt, thank you so much for your RUclips ministry and content!! Most days, I look forward to seeing a video from you, and I'm never disappointed in the content. According to your advice in a video you posted years ago, I decided to pick a dead mentor in the faith. Over the past three years, I've been wrestling and asking God about who I should study and my heart has been stirred recently to study Charles Spurgeon. So, I've been purchasing and reading every book about him and those he wrote, when I have free time from my Seminary readings. This video came at such a good time!
Thank you brother Matt. Never commented on your channel before but just to let you know I truly appreciate your message at the end of the video.
Love from Vietnam.
I always love seeing brothers & sisters from all over the world!
Broke out my overshirts last night. Here in SW MO, it's heat in the morning, AC in the afternoon.
I'm in the North West same o same o.
thank you, sir
I just love everything Spurgeon. It’s encouraging and I feel like I know him a little better.
Thank you for your effort!
I looked at coming to seminary at RPTS and even spoke with them on the phone a few times. I wish they had an all-online option. I know you lose out on a lot when unable to attend in person, but as a 34 year old husband and father of 3, it's not feasible for me at the moment. With the rise in the necessity of bi-vocational pastors and ministers, I wish more places would add the option for full online MDiv's. I live in the Akron area, so I plan to come visit one Lord's Day!
Great video Pastor Everhard!
I wonder how many elders he had?
Between cigars of course 😂😂😂
How interesting. I am 70, and I work part time as an accountant for a non-profit. I am trying to get more serious about my bible study. I do not manage my time effectively. Thank you for teaching me a new word today, "finitude."
I'm grateful for men like Spurgeon, and the work they do. I am not wired that way. I love serving the Lord, and the church but I'm not a preacher, or public speaker of any account. Still my ministry, quiet and unassuming as it may be, requires it's own effort, skill and talent God did wire into me. I never think I'm doing enough, and I've come to know many, if not most, well known pastors who have done what seems like so much more than I, often feel the same.
Just keep close to the vine but using the means of grace, prayer and reading the word and The Lord will give you the strength of the Holy Spirit to enable you to live for him and spread His Word. If you're doing this, no need to worry about not soing enough.
i need to get more flannels. i only have one right now. i usually wear Baja jackets and hoodies
Flannel in NC!
"I will smoke a cigar to the glory of the Lord!" -CH Spurgeon. 🚬 ✝️
Sinful
Impressive, but is that busy for a pastor or for non cleric working day? Regular working people frequently back then and today had/have more arduous working weeks that what is outlined there.
Well if you take into account that preaching 1 hour is equivalent to 8 hours of work then I’d say it was a lot. I’m a bivocational pastor, work as a mechanic as well and I can tell you I am far more exhausted after preaching one sermon than after a full 9 hour day at the shop
Despite Susanna's health, she also had a book ministry (and I believe clothing ministry), and later in life, she planted a church, and I believe one of her twins became the pastor. So inspiring.
Currently at Answers in Genesis pastors/leaders conference. Would love to hear your take on young earth creation. If you’ve talked about it in the past and I missed it, my apologies.
He makes me seem like a sloth. It takes me 10 to 12 hours to get one sermon ready. I’m just glad I don’t require much sleep. Thank you brother for your content.
I am a software engineer working 12 hours a day plus extra learning of new technologies to keep me up to speed. And I consume some theological content daily. This schedule isn't that crazy compared to the modern life😂.
Takes incredible discipline to do what he did.
Wearing my flannel in north Texas today 🤪
I don't wear kimonos in America or fannel shirts in Texas!
Is that a KJV Thompson Chain Reference Bible (Handy size) on the bottom shelve just to your right elbow?
Enjoyed this video & many others also!
Spurgeon is one of my heroes of the faith. 😊 Sadly he may have died prematurely in part because he burned himself out working so hard. As I once heard Don Carson say, (paraphrasing because I can't remember his exact words), sometimes it might be better not to go 100% in pastoral ministry (or at least for some seasons) if it means one can have many more productive years of service. Say, going at 80% for 20+ years rather than 110% and burn out after 10 years.
Crazy what you have time for without sports and television
1:20 the reason why so many people last year registered and then didn’t show up is because the registration is free. People do not value what they get for free. Easy come easy go. It’s easy to register for some thing that cost them nothing and then on the day say “ehh, I don’t feel like it”. it’s been shown that if you have two products that are exactly identical and one is $5 and the other is $15 they will sell more of the one that’s $15 because it has a perceived greater value. So if you’re gonna put on a conference where registration is free, you will always have lots of people who register and then don’t show up. The only way to resolve that is to make them pay. even if it is a small amount. When money come out of their bank account, if they have to make a financial commitment to it, they will show up.
Maybe there's a connection between "smoking a cigar to the glory of God" and dying at 57! An amazing man of God, nonetheless.
How about Pastor Adrian Rogers or Dr. Jack Van Impe?
Jealous of your flannel season starting so early! It's still consistently in the 90s here in Texas.
Spurgeon had some very very serious mental and physical health problems that debilitated him and he was frequently absent from the pulpit because of his ilness. He took frequent trips to his vacation home in france on the beach to rest.
He had severe depression and anxiety and gout.
No wonder, seeing what he went through with the most of the church leaving due to Darwin at that time and the mockery spurgeon was facing, even the time someone faked a fire and the stamped that happened at one of the buildings he preached at with a few deaths due to that. That takes a mental tool on someone! I preach at a homeless shelter almost every Sunday and I do youth every Saturday, and that alone puts a mental tole on me
@WilliamHardacre-e5x
That's the price to pay that works up the enemy. No movement from the accuser. Means your not advancing the Kingdom. You my friend are!! Onward and Upward my brother in arms!!
@@luker.6799 thank you brother 🕊️
Susannah had surgery after her Twains were born that was gynecological in nature. In her later years it eased up some. She was able after his death to see to it that a church was built.
The claim that, even though you didn't mentioned him by name, respecting and loving an amazing pastor for his preaching and dedication to the word of God amounts to "idolizing" him is misguided. That's pure Monday morning quarterbacking as well as caving in to slack-brained popular opinions. You were, and still are, in the same category in my mind as the not-mentioned-by-name fallen preacher. That doesn't mean that I'm idolizing you...or John MacArthur, James White, Douglas Wilson, or anyone. Rather it means that I love you for your dedication to preaching of the word of God and overall Christian integrity. Thus when ***BOOM*** such a pastor falls in shameful sin, it's simply dishonest to play the "you were idolizing him" card after the fact. Let's be careful not to be sucked in by sloppy popular thinking and kneejerk reactions. Peace, brother. We love you!
Spurgeon also dealt with his own ailments. He had gout and dealt with depression. A stampede were people were killed during a service and the "Downgrade Controversy" were major causes of his depression. He even wrote something about preaching through depression.
Is it a cop out to tell myself, I don't have Spurgeon's call and giftings, therefore if I can't live up to his standards it's okay?
9:40 you forgot the point where Spurgeon would very regularly puke before his sermon... To the glory of God of course.
Psalm 33: "Praise the Lord with the harp. Make music to Him on the ten stringed lyre .. play skillfully .." When commenting on this Spurgeon said the instuments were "childish things" and "when Jesus gives us spiritual manhood, we can make melody without strings." ... Spurgeon fails to consider that it was the Spirit of Christ that co-wrote Psalm 33 (and many other Psalms that call for the playing of instruments)
Totally agree, but as with every pastor and person, we all have our faults in theology. 👍
And how sad for those people who were skilled in instruments! But, as always, people are not perfect. We all have our blind spots in different areas.
Yes, but not in the temple/tabernacle. Also, Christians are called to New Testament worship, no OT worship. The veil was torn, yes, but the Holiness of God is not reduced, and the command to fear God not rescinded.
not*
@@TLM-ct2tk Psalm 43: "...I go to the alter of God...I will praise you with the harp O God, my God." Psalm 150: "Praise God in His sanctuary...Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet..with the harp and lyre..with the strings and flute..with the clash of cymbals.."
Only if he hadn't perrished so soon...😞
His wife and kids?
Much of his life was in a chair.
If hobbies are a waste of time (seemingly implied in the video), would these things also be sinful? Is it possible to participate in a hobby for the glory of God? Or is that just excusing our selfish desire for enjoyment? Asking for a friend…
“For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.” 1 Timothy 4:4-5
Yes, it's possible!
I have to be careful with hobbies so they don't become sinful. God bless you
I'll be honest, struggled with this idea as well, I say if you have a hobby, have it as a Sabbath day or when your at rest event, not when the ground is ready to be seeded.
I think if your hobby is something that is blessing to others it glorifies God, but if it is only for your own gratification and you put a lot of time and effort in it, then I think it’s a waste of time an idolatry.
Please excuse my vague attempt at addressing Mr. Everhard. As a 20 year veteran of full time church ministry, I think he is towing a line that should be drawn out more. I do think this budding generation has an issue with grit and work ethic, so I understand the importance to stress of hard work. Spurgeon is a a high bar….but he also suffered with crippling anxiety and depression. Perhaps he needed to unwind a bit:) I am an introvert and spend my life ministering to people. I love it, but it drains me. For my own mental and emotional well being, I have found it life-giving to wrench on old trucks. In ministry there is always more to do. You rarely finish anything. Being able to complete something silly like welding up a new bumper helps me recharge and shepherd my flock more effectively. Can I focus too much on cars, yes! Easily! Like enjoying a fine bourbon, one must approach it in moderation. There are two sides to this, and I feel as though only one was addressed. Many young ministers in my presbytery unwind in Tolkien, Lewis and the like…Wonderful! However, some of them think their unwinding is more pious than mine as it’s more “godly” and ministry focused…I strongly disagree! Just my $0.02 from a fellow minister of the gospel…
Spurgeon suffered with depression especially after the big fire. Calvin worked himself to death too. As a fellow struggler with ambition and vain glory, seek balance. Being driven is slavery. Ps Gluton allergies brought Kevin Deyoung very low and weak.
I thought I heard that he read for five hours a day - or is that someone else?
I thought it was a sin to smoke?
Col. 2:20-23.
Nope
@@Mr2001ghost I know, I was being facetious. Just ruffling those religious feathers. It's interesting how modern 'christians' will look down on smokers but then hold someone like Spurgeon in high esteem when this picture clearly shows him smoking.
@@clockchaser ahh my apologies. Tone is impossible to gather through text.
@@Mr2001ghost I know that's right
Banner of Truth republished years ago the 'autobiography' of Charles Spurgeon. The two volumes are well worth reading. As for ministerial workload, Daniel Defoe outlined the normal ministerial tasks of Presbyterian ministers in Scotland before 1717.
“Spurgeon did it” so a frail human being does something that common sense says, “is not good for the human body” therefore it’s okay to do? Cigar smoking is the equivalent to cigarette smoking. Smoking cigars actually increases the risk of dying from oral or throat cancer because it has a higher cancer causing substance. I’ll stick with the apostle James, Therefore to him that knows to do good (not smoking), and does it not, to HIM it is sin! Maybe Spurgeon did not understand the horrible health benefits of smoking, but we that are alive in the 21st century certainly does.
Video idea: Are hobbies sinful?
Notice that CH Spurgeon not once began his busy day with prayer.
Matthew Everhard said “Spurgeon smoked a cigar to the glory of God (hehehe).”
Obviously, Spurgeon didn’t believe his physical body is the temple of the Holy Spirit so he thought nothing about polluting it. When DL Moody asked him about his smoking habit, Spurgeon pointed to Moody’s large belly and retorted with “I can see you haven’t missed many meals”.
How would you know whether he began with prayer, if that prayer was in secret like Christ said in Matthew?
Do you "pollute" your body with anything?
@@micaiahm1 If you ever read Billy Graham’s books, he was a man of prayer.
Apparently sola scriptura doesn’t mean anything cos spurgeon is scripture
