Pierced by words

"That very church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors."

(Charles Haddon Spurgeon, "How Saints May Help The Devil," July 24, 1859)

Look at the date of which this quote was written. Spurgeon was indeed a man beyond his days. He saw that in his days and spoke prophetically about the future of churches that compromise the gospel for a "more modern" or "more exceptable" message. How quickly entertainment has taken over the reign once ruled supreme by preaching. The role of the word of God has been plundered by easy-believism and spirit-lacking methods. These methods might work for a time, but it would not produce eternity-worthy disciples.

The gospel might be a simple message, but the cost is high for the God who served the sentence and the disciples, like u and I, who live out and share about our passion.
