Spurgeon quote...

[farouk]

I like Spurgeon, had a whole book of his sermons on my old e-reader but it went wrong and decided to get a different make of reader ( went from a Kobo to a Kindle ) so the sermons were lost !!

A shame you lost them, Rita.....

His quotes are so encouraging, aren't they?

 

[Rita]

His sermons are even better xxx
I will probably buy the book again…..

Sounds good, Rita; his books continue to be in print, and no wonder.

We were also talking a bit about how te moko is getting popular, as per Angelina in NZ.

 

[Angelina]

The ta moko represents an individuals geneology. Would be considered as cultural appropriation if it were even considered over here. Not really a good idea.

Always thought he was and still is, an amazing man of God

 

[farouk]

Not really into tats but I could get a ta moko if I was really game....lol!

@Angelina Well, I guess it would depend on whether you have any Maori ancestry yourself, I suppose, as to whether a Spurgeon quote in that style would be doable? IDK....

@Angelina His ministry has blessed so many ppl; he had what was very evidently a real heart for the Scriptures and for his hearers and readers....

Well I do and I think I have mentioned this before in many other posts. That is why I mention it now??

 

[Rita]

I didn’t agree with everything he stood for , but his ability to expound the word of God was amazing.

@Angelina Well, I guess then that you could in theory have a short Spurgeon quote done more 'authentically' than could others who don't have the same ancestry, I suppose.....

 

[Angelina]

Neither do I but I think some things about him and his beliefs are untrue

I'd be hard pressed to find something to disagree with. Yes, he was a very gifted expositor, and what he said is really memorable...

This thread seems to have caught on rather quickly....thanks, ppl...

 

[Rita]

I don’t think he believed in the gifts still being used today, I do. I don’t want to make this into a debate thread about that, but that was one thing I didn’t agree with xx

@Angelina Well, maybe a Spurgeon quote would be better in Western script, then?

@Rita I guess the script used can have significance.

Ewww I did not know that Spurgeon was a cessationalist! how unappealing

@Angelina Well....maybe a theme for another thread........(I know my own thoughts).

Spurgeon's quotes seem so pithy and applicable to people.

 

[farouk]

That's a lovely quote there, @Angelina

 

[Rita]

Ewww I did not know that Spurgeon was a cessationalist! how unappealing

He was , but did often get insights into peoples sins when he was preaching, so he must have questioned things at time xx
It doesn’t take anything away from his quotes or preaching , unless he did a sermon the the gifts of the Spirit of course ! Lol

 

[farouk]

He .... did often get insights into peoples sins when he was preaching...

Rita: Spurgeon must have spend huge amounts of time in prayer and Scripture study......
