Sundays are for Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon, the English Baptist preacher of the 19th century, made the following comment when dealing with one of the numerous crises of apostacy that he faced during his ministry. It seems as if in our country we are facing a similar crises and, in fact, are in danger of sliding into a post-Christian era. We must "gird ourselves" and prepare for the battle that most surely will come. It is in this vein that Spurgeon's words calling us to courageously engage the enemy with truth on our side seem most appropriate.

“We shall soon have to handle truth, not with kid gloves, but with gauntlets, – the gauntlets of holy courage and integrity. Go on, ye warriors of the cross, for the King is at the head of you.” Charles Haddeon Spurgeon

However, I am sure that Spurgeon would not want to conclude this thought using his words, but would rather point us to the word of God.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. .... . Stand firm then with your belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes with the gospel of peace. In addition to all this take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flamming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-18
