31st January: Reading for the Death Anniversary of Charles Haddon Spurgeon

128 years ago today, Spurgeon went Heaven. I'm sure there will be lots of articles and blog posts about him by the end of the day. Here are some of the past/older posts which are still refreshing as we think through the work of God in Spurgeon's life and ministry:

1.     This Day In History: The Death of Charles Spurgeon by Michael Reeves. "When you see my coffin carried to the silent grave, I should like every one of you, whether converted or not, to be constrained to say, ‘He did earnestly urge us, in plain and simple language, not to put off the consideration of eternal things. He did entreat us to look to Christ.’”

2.     Four Reasons Spurgeon Died Poor. Charles Spurgeon could have been one of the richest millionaires in London. Instead, he died poor. Why????

3.     The Secret of Spurgeon's Success by Clint Archer. His success was obvious, but the reason for his success was not as obvious, except to those who knew him well . . . 

4.     Anniversary of the Death of Spurgeon by John Piper. There are 7 characteristics that qualify Spurgeon as a helpful guide to preachers who need strength to preach through adversity

Sure, there will be no another Spurgeon, but let us pray that God will grant us to see Him raising up godly men like him in our lifetime!
