About C.H. Spurgeon and the Millpond Radio Tabernacle

Charles Haddon Spurgeon was born June 19, 1834, in Kelvedon, a little village in Essex, England. Called ‘The Prince of Preachers,’ C.H. Spurgeon was truly a man of God, and the lover of souls. As Jesus referred to his disciple Nathanael as a man without guile, so was to me C.H. Spurgeon. In what little time I have spent reading about his life, his marriage to his beloved ‘wifey’ Susie, his many battles with his health, and his fight to preserve the teaching of the pure and simple Gospel, my own faith has been inspired and doctrinal beliefs reinforced. Seventy years old, I look back and see how much time I have sadly squandered, especially knowing how C.H. Spurgeon truly knew and practiced Ephesians 5:15-16, “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” While I cannot go back and recover a single hour lost, I praise God that I can redeem my time going forward… thus, I pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and inspired by the words of the H.C. Spurgeon’s writings, I can bring to our listeners the words of this servant of God, the Prince of Preachers.

Sincerely, in Christ and in Debt to Him,

David Marchuck Barbour

A word about a SPURGEON Sermon

It seems there is no lack of C.H. Spurgeon quotations shared on social media today or readily available via the internet. Pastor Spurgeon lived a very full and blessed life. He planted many fields which men walk through today and glean as far as their appetites see fit. Of course, it is one thing to glean a kernel or two, another to harvest a whole field, such as listening through a fifty, sixty minute sermon. What I ended up threshing was purer than what I suspect most people can handle in directness and truth. I mean, we are talking truly ‘organic’ material here!  Yes, indeed, I would say many folks in the world suffer from spiritual Celiac disease. Indeed, if boldly planted, the wheat of truth would rally atheists to burn the field! Many would accuse Spurgeon of hate speech!  In fact, even some Christians would suffer milder reactions! Most would suffer a severe rash if they heard anything Calvinist – worse yet, if they heard a sermon related to the discussion of hell-fire and eternal damnation. Then again, that is to be expected. Why? The flesh is known for its multitudinous rashes.
