Below is a prophetically powerful quote from a famous preacher from the past who is very well known - but may be quite surprising to some. Can you name the preacher who said this:
"When people hear about what God used to do, one of the things they say is: 'Oh, that was a very long time ago.' I thought it was God that did it. Has God changed? Is He not an immutable God, the same yesterday, today and forever? Does not that furnish an argument to prove that what God has done at one time he can do at another? Nay, I think I may push it a little further, and say what He has done once, is a prophecy of what He intends to do again...Whatever God has done...is to be looked upon as a precedent....(Let us) with earnestness seek that God would restore to us the faith of the men of old, that we may richly enjoy his grace as in the days of old."
The lines are now open - anyone want to take a guess?
Charles Haddon Spurgeon?
ReplyDeleteI'd guess Spurgeon too.
ReplyDeleteYou gentlemen are correct!
ReplyDeleteBonus bonus: Can you name the title of the famous sermon this quote comes from??
ReplyDeleteI'd have to go looking for that! If I wait long enough, you're sure to tell me. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt took some searching, but it's from "The Story of God's Mighty Acts."
ReplyDeleteSLW - I'm not worthy! :^) You got it my friend!
