"It will do thee good to remember what thou once wast, how thou hast now become what thou art, and to whom the glory of it is due."

"There is a cheerful view for you, if you will but look back; and brighter scenes will yet open up before you as you go forward."

"Let us look back to the rock whence we were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence Christ’s church was digged. We shall see great encouragement under present discouragements if we do so."

"Let us not fear, we have the same God, we have the same gospel, we have the same Holy Spirit to make the gospel effectual against error."

"From the very highest of the population, or from the lowest, whichever he willed, he could raise up men that should defend the truth, and carry the banner of the cross into the very heart of the foe."

"If the gospel’s progress were always smooth and easy, where were the glory of it?"

"I earnestly pray you to live today as if you were only saved today, to go and try to bring others to Christ, as if your own conversion had only been accomplished five minutes before."

"The gospel itself is the greatest of signs and wonder. What want you more that that?" - CH Spurgeon

"To ask a sign from God when he pledges his word seems to me to be out of all reason. You are a beggar, remember, and we have an old proverb that beggars must not be choosers; above all, how dare a beggar demand a sign before he will receive an alms?" - CH Spurgeon

"God has promised that everyone that believeth in Jesus Christ shall live; he has promised to hear prayer; but he has never promised to give any one of you a sign or a wonder; and yet you will ask him to give you a sign which he has never promised, and dare not ask him to give you eternal life which he has promised. Folly indeed!" - CH Spurgeon

"Such is the mystery of regeneration. It is so mysterious that no one can explain it, but it is so simple that everyone that believeth in Christ has experienced it already; it is so mysterious that if the most learned tomes were composed to define it, all the writers in the world might fail in the definition, but it is such a simplicity that whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ is born of God." - CH Spurgeon

CH Spurgeon warned parents about two errors they can make when raising their children: neglecting their souls or assuming that they will automatically be saved because of the faith of their parents.

On this episode we will discuss how to avoid both of these errors. We’re talking with Pastor Brandon Rhea, who has written the forward for a new edition of Spurgeon’s classic, “Come Ye Children” by Particular Baptist Heritage Books.

"Come Ye Children" exhorts parents and pastors alike to take seriously their role in drawing the hearts and minds of children to Jesus Christ, explaining their need for a Savior, urging them on in their sanctification, and teaching them sound doctrine from an early age.

In this conversation will talk about how Spurgeon’s views challenge modern ideas of children’s ministry, practical steps you can take in your own home to teach your kids spiritual truths, and what we can learn from Spurgeon’s example as a pastor and as a father.

Be sure to check out the show notes for this episode for links to additional resources that we talk about in our conversation.
