This is from Charles H. Spurgeon:
In 1857, a day or two before preaching at the Crystal Palace, I went to decide where the platform should be fixed; and, in order to test the acoustic properties of the building, cried in a loud voice, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” In one of the galleries, a workman, who knew nothing of what was being done, heard the words, and they came like a message from heaven to his soul. He was smitten with conviction on account of sin, put down his tools, went home, and there, after a season of spiritual struggling, found peace and life by beholding the Lamb of God. Years after, he told this story to one who visited him on his death-bed.
I found a link to your site from pj miller’s blog. I like what I have read so far and am looking forward to reading more as time permits. You seem to have a gentle, loving way of correcting those with whom you disagree which is a breath of fresh air after reading other blogs which seem to only attack and tear down.
