C. H. Spurgeon: The Ministry the Churches Need
from The Magazine Podcast · host Banner of Truth
In May of 1871, Charles Haddon Spurgeon contributed an article to The Sword and Trowel on the kind of ministry, and the kind of minister, needed by the churches, and how such ministers might be raised up. Spurgeon's blend of sanctified common sense and discerning, even wry commentary on trends current in his own day will, it is hoped, stimulate thought on the sort of ministry the Scriptures encourage us to pursue and foster. Featured Article: – 'The Ministry Needed by the Churches', C. H. Spurgeon, The Sword and Trowel, May 1871, featured in the Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 20 (April 1960).
