The Best Preparation For The Second Advent by Charles Spurgeon

Описание: This audio excerpt is taken from the book, "The Bible And The Newspaper" by Charles Spurgeon

In “The Best Preparation for the Second Advent,” Charles Spurgeon illustrates the importance of being diligent and prepared for Christ's return. He references a historical event known as the “dark day” in New England, where a legislator, Davenport, prioritized his duty over panic during an unexplained darkness, showing true preparedness. Spurgeon argues that believers should not merely speculate on the signs of Christ's return but engage actively in their responsibilities. He emphasizes that faith should manifest in works, advising Christians to focus on the Lord’s household and serve faithfully. Ultimately, Spurgeon encourages readers to be found actively working for the Lord when He returns, as true readiness lies in continual service rather than idle waiting.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892), known as the "Prince of Preachers," was a towering figure in Christian history. Converted at age 15, Spurgeon soon began preaching, and by 19, he was called to pastor New Park Street Chapel in London. Under his leadership, the church grew rapidly, prompting a move to the Metropolitan Tabernacle, where he preached to thousands.

Spurgeon’s sermons, known for their biblical depth and accessibility, spread globally through print, and he became a leading voice for Reformed theology, emphasizing God's sovereignty, grace, and the sufficiency of Christ’s atonement. He authored numerous works, including the influential All of Grace and The Treasury of David.

Beyond preaching, Spurgeon founded an orphanage and the Pastor's College, training countless ministers. He stood firm against theological liberalism during the Down Grade Controversy, though it cost him dearly. Spurgeon also advocated for social justice, speaking against slavery and poverty.
