Quote of the Day

…To change such perfect good news as the gospel set forth made no sense and reached the depths of Spurgeon's disgust.  "My blood boils with indignation at the idea of improving the gospel.  There is but one Savior, and that one Savior is the same for ever.  His doctrine is the same in every age, and is not yea and nay."  If modern proposal for theological change were authentic, what an absurd scene would eternity hold forth.  "What a strange result we should obtain in the general assembly of heaven,"  Spurgeon envisioned, "if some were saved by the gospel of the first century, and others by the gospel fo the second, and others by the gospel of the seventeenth, and others by the gospel of the nineteenth century!  Imagine the scene.  "We should need a different song of praise for the clients of these various periods, and the mingled chorus would be rather to the glory of man's culture than to the praise of the one Lord.  No such mottled heaven, and no such discordant song, shall ever be produced." 

Charles Spurgeon as quoted in Living by Revealed Truth:  The Life and Pastoral Theology of Charles Haddon Spurgeon by Thomas Nettles
