Spurgeon and the Primitive Methodists

Charles Haddon Spurgeon is a man I greatly admire.  Not tall of stature, not handsome, he lead the Victorian era in England as the foremost preacher of the time.  Imagine Rob Bell and Bill Hybels and Rick Warren rolled into one.  He preached to huge assemblies.

His sermons was filled with wisdom and love, and sometimes a little vinegar.  Had I remained in the UK it seems likely that I would have attended Spurgeon College in London, which still prepares ministers to this day.

I recommend the blog posting from J D Greear in the above link.  It is a great story for me, a Wesleyan, to read.  You can pay as much money as you like to hear any of the great preachers and teachers of our day, and if they are a thoroughgoing Christian it all comes down to that great advice - trust the holy love of Jesus Christ to save you now and forever.  Amen.
