Bible Note: Bub, I'm pleased that you liked Spurgeon. He was truly one of the towering giants of his day and of any day. But, Bub, there are some, a few not many, who still preach a la Spurgeon. My pastor is one of them, I'm delighted to say. Now that you have had a taste of Spurgeon, I hope that you will read more of his sermons from the web site I gave you. To other forum users who may want to visit the Spurgeon web site, it's simply www.spurgeon.org. Click around on the site to locate his sermons and other material about this truly great preacher. --Hank |
