Episode Details

"Come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD" (Isaiah 2:5, KJV). Part 2 of Spurgeon's sermon: zeal, an infallible Bible, and saved people still living in the dark.
C.H. Spurgeon Sermon Breakdown Pt 2, hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matt and TopLobsta finish the second half of Charles Spurgeon's sermon on Isaiah 2:5. Spurgeon calls believers back to zeal and to "mutual exhortation," and asks for faith worn like a garment every day instead of a Sunday-only religion. Like the wise man who built on the rock (Matthew 7:24-27), we should walk in it in real life.

Spurgeon contrasts "an infallible pope" and an "infallible self" with "this infallible book and the infallible God." That leads into Orthodox and Catholic tradition, Calvinism, division in the body of Christ, and "Quench not the Spirit... Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:19-21). It closes with meditating day and night (Psalm 1), the first-class cabin analogy, "O wretched man that I am" (Romans 7:24), the communion table, the Freemason question about Spurgeon, and cultural Christianity in the South.
