In addition to his public speaking, Spurgeon was involved in several charitable organizations, including an orphanage in Stockwell, and had an extensive influence through his writings.Ĭheque Book of the Bank of Faith, a copy of which was given to me by a friend, is a set of 365 daily readings, each with a passage of Scripture containing some promise of God and a devotional application of that passage and its promise. In fact, he was probably Britain’s best-known preacher of the nineteenth century, serving with the New Park Street Baptist Chapel in Southwark, London, which he built into the Metropolitan Tabernacle. A right little tonic this was.Ĭharles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) was born in Essex, England, and became a Baptist minister. It really encouraged me as I encountered, throughout the year, challenges and came across opinions that try to undermine the word of God. I really love the way it comes across that 'why would we not trust that there is no mountain too high or valley too low that our God cannot save us in any situation?' It doesn't seem to make sense to him why we wouldn't believe that if we believe in Jesus? It comes across very well that he KNOWS his God and nothing in this world can change that. ![]() In an age where the truth is being attacked left, right and centre with the PC brigade on top of that this is really a refreshing and encouraging read.Īs expected from this preacher he unashamedly loves the word, believes in its authority and declares its promises as trustworthy. ![]() What I personally liked was his undeniable passion and conviction for the word of truth. You sometimes have to sit back and remember that this was written many moons ago and it feels like he is speaking for today's age but then again nothing is new under the sun and the human heart never changes so the insight is spot on in the reading for any year. This preacher really knew how to deliver a message with high impact, even after all these years of his passing and the massive changes in society they have pieced together a book of his preaching and daily readings that are timely and apt for today. I purchased this on my Kindle and it is so much more accessible than lugging around a big book, that I was able to re-read this throughout the day wherever I was. This is a real inspiration to read and reflect on throughout the day. Coleraine Free Presbyterian Church.I have spent the last year using this daily reading from Spurgeon for encouragement and guidance as I use my Bible notes in the morning.For that extra shot of Biblical injection before facing the big wide world Oh, what feet are the feet of faith, by which, following the hind of the morning, we shall ascend into the hill of the Lord! Up yonder we shall climb, even to the mount of God, the high places where the shining ones are gathered. One of these days we shall be called to higher places still. He can fit our foot for the crags so that we shall be at home where apart from God we should perish. ![]() Our Lord will give us grace to follow the most difficult paths of duty without a stumble. The hinds leap over rock and crag, never missing their footholds. Note that the Lord also gave him surefootedness. Think of that: the almighty God Himself becomes our strength! By and by he was called to the high places of the hills of conflict and he was no more afraid to go up than to go down. The prophet had to traverse the deep places of poverty and famine, but he went down hill without slipping, for the Lord gave him standing. This confidence of the man of God is tantamount to a promise, for that which faith is persuaded of is the purpose of God. The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hind's feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. Saturday, JFaith's Cheque Book, Daily Entry C.
