Look, however, to how Spurgeon answered this question.
Others may say that the greatest earthly blessing could be a steady job or physical health. What would you say is the greatest earthly blessing that God could give to any of us? Some may say wealth, others may say family. AFFLICTION=”THE GREATEST EARTHLY BLESSING” I listened to Piper give Spurgeon’s biography speech, on a CD, at a pastor’s conference some years’ back and I simply want to share what has encouraged me in hopes that it will encourage you. Most of my quotes will be coming from John Piper’s biography of Spurgeon here. Spurgeon, known as “the prince of preachers,” was a minister at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and lived from 1834-1892. What I want to share with you now is some of the thoughts from the life of Charles Spurgeon that has recently blessed and encouraged my own life. Have you struggled with adversity in your life? Have you often wondered how to properly view the trials and struggles you’ve encountered? I know I have. See a previous post I wrote on the value of biographies here Do we really believe that God has Christians’ good in mind when even the toughest afflictions may come into our lives?
