“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” —Galatians 3:13 On this Good Friday, this day when we remember the darkest day before the dawn, I searched out what C. H. Spurgeon said about … Continue reading What Would Spurgeon Say… on Jesus Christ, The Great Substitute?
Wading In Deeper
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Announcing a (slight) change to this Blog! Actually, it's not that dramatic, but for me it kinda feels like it. I feel as if I have jumped into a deeper end of the pool, when really I am slowly wading in maybe waist-deep. After a year blogging for free on WordPress … Continue reading Wading In Deeper
New Post at enCourage
Since September, I have been leading a Bible study on Peter, first meeting him in the gospels, and then several months spent going through 1 Peter, and now 2 Peter. Many of us also memorized the letter of 1 Peter as we studied. As the leader of the study I am compelled to do as … Continue reading New Post at enCourage

What Would Spurgeon Say… on Prayer?
I recently purchased a complete set of Spurgeon's Sermons for a steal. Unlike finding a Rembrandt in a garage sale, which would yield its worth upon professional appraisal, these volumes may take me decades to mine the treasures of eternal truth found in their pages. (And of course, they are competing for my time with … Continue reading What Would Spurgeon Say… on Prayer?
