Quote by Charles Spurgeon
“It is like the gentleman who called to see me. He said, “Sir, I prospered far more when I was a worldly man than I have done since I have become a Christian. Since then, everything has appeared to go wrong with me. I thought that religion had the promise of this life as well as of that which is to come.” I told him, “Yes, it does, and so it will turn out in the end.” But he must remember that there was one great promise that Christ gave his people; and that I was glad he had experienced a portion of it. “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

He was converted to Christ at the age of 16 and immediately began preaching. He preached in the streets and in the fields before he was 21. In his first church, he began with 100 members. It grew until he was preaching to 10,000 people in the Surrey Music Hall. His church, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, seated 6,000 people. He withdrew from every movement among English Baptists which tended to criticize the Authorized Version 1611 in any way.
Before his death, he published more than 2,000 sermons and 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, and devotions.
