Charles Spurgeon
Consider the army of doubters and heretics and scoffers, enter the time in Israel's heritage, the wilderness of their rationalism and atheism, they can be hungry. You eat the whole grain of the country. They question all the truths of our faith. But we fear they do not. Because we would hear their secret counsels, we could see that they fear us. Their loud boasting and their constant mockery are just a sign of their true fear.
Those who preach the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, the horror of modern thinkers. In the innermost heart of their fear they preaching the old-fashioned gospel, and they hate what they fear. In her sleep she dreams of an evangelist that will soon appear in their neighborhood. What was the name of Richard the Lionheart for the Saracens, the name Moody arrogant for these intellectuals. They wish they could stop this Calvinist brothers and this weird old evangelical owls.
brothers, as long as the clear Gospel is proclaimed in England, there will always be the hope that these invaders are dispersed and the church will be exempt from their attacks. Rationalism, Sozianismus (which denies the divinity of Jesus and Sozianismus teaches that Jesus was simply an exceptional person was), ritualism and universalism are soon put to flight, when the clear, firm reputation as the "sword of the Lord and of Gideon" is heard again.
Charles Spurgeon, The Dream of the Cake Bakery , Sermon of 22 November 1885 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London.
