Shepherding with Spurgeon
Weekly Newsletter for Pastors from SpurgeonBooks
Also: How to deal with controlling leaders
"A holy life is not talked of by an ungodly world half as much as one unholy act of an inconsistent professing Christian."
"Better far give the people masses of unprepared truth in the rough, like pieces of meat from a butcher’s block"
"He who never tells me of my faults, nor makes me feel uneasy, is not likely to be the means of good to my soul."
"There is not a minister breathing that can win man’s heart himself."
"If I am called upon to pray in public, I must realize that I am speaking to God himself."
Nobody will follow mere head. There must be heart displayed by the man who would have a hearty following.
"Get alone for a week, or even a month if possible."
"The power of the gospel does not lie in the preacher, but in the truth which he proclaims."
"A shepherd who does not love his sheep is a hireling and not a shepherd"
"Could God not, if he pleased, convert men without our preaching?"
A timely reminder for Easter: “Apart from me you are not able to do anything” (John 15:5).
