In my opinion his greatest impact is that he pointed to Christ and did not boast in himself.

[This very loving Church meets an hour's drive away from our 2 person Congregation].<br /><br />The best thing of all is that the Expositions are not shortened for to please "the audiance". Services can run into an hour and a half up to two hours (For our LORD's Table).<br /><br />I love Churchs where we enjoy being together longer and do not find it burdensome to hear from His Oracles...or to serve others with His powerful Gospel of grace.<br /><br />My beloved wife and I both suffer with Chronic Pain and Fatigue conditions (And some other medical symptoms); and we have a 3 year old son who is the size of a 6-7 year old...<br /><br />Let's just say we struggle with making it to likeminded Fellowship and service - hence our starting a 1689 LBCF Home Church this year. <br /><br />We covet your prayers for our work here in our Community where even Evangelicals are postmodern and pragmatic in their desperation for numbers.<br /><br />We seek Christ glorified by His Spirit in our Justification and Sanctification according with His Word - through willing obedience to His Lordship; from the heart.<br />Having our Deliverer take us out from the love of our sins and the appeals of the flesh and the world.<br /><br />(Pastor MacArthur hit the spot this week on GTY).<br /><br />Your fellow bondsalve bought by the free gift of merciful love - originating from our Triune YAHWEH Alone,<br />WBoerseuntjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823588390354919031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-45375427680033714112010-01-29T20:27:37.853-08:002010-01-29T20:27:37.853-08:00Quite the honor, congrats, Phil!

I've had opportunity to review a good number of Spurgeon's handwritten edits. As a longtime editor myself, I can say Spurgeon's editing abilities were truly exceptional. <br /><br />I've been wanting to pick up this new Spurgeon volume, but it's too high priced. Will probably get my copy at the upcoming Shepherds' Conference with the hope that Day One discounts it.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499447751220981083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-87448263585959707242010-01-29T06:41:36.111-08:002010-01-29T06:41:36.111-08:00I need you guys to pray for me.

I've preached from that pulpit (it's terribly awe-inspiring to have to ascend to the pulpit, then make sure you don't lean too far forward since, due to age, the pulpit was just a bit wobbly).
