Must You Read at Least One Spurgeon Biography?

I am not aware of a verse in the Bible that says every Christian must read at least one biography of Charles Spurgeon. Or every Calvinist, at least. But I also wouldn’t be completely shocked if it’s there somewhere and I’ve just missed it. And that’s because his life and ministry were powerfully unique in…

The Prosperity Gospel We Sometimes All Believe In

My family experienced some difficult days through the holiday season.
