 '''Charles Haddon Spurgeon''' (1834-1892) is considered to be one of the greatest preachers of all time. He was a pastor at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in [[London]] and gained fame for his direct and powerful preaching style. His church grew to more than 6,000 members and by 1861 he was being called the "Prince of Preachers".

 In 1861, a new church was built for Spurgeon that would hold 6000 people. This was a great blessing to an independent pastor who was not in any denominational organization. He preached there, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle until his death in 1892. Spurgeon affected his area like no one else could. His church was a hub of ministries: a pastor's college was founded(known today as ''Spurgeon's College''), an orphanage founded, and also a [[colportage]] association for the propagation of uplifting literature. Ultimately, Charles Spurgeon accomplished the goal of the pastor: to affect the local community in a tangible and positive way, to see souls saved and people following the footsteps of [[Jesus]].

		+	* "The fall of Adam is treated as a fable. And original sin and imputed righteousness are both denounced. As for the Doctrines of Grace - they are ridiculed as altogether out of vogue and even the solemn sanctions of the Law are scorned as bugbears of the dark ages. For many a year, by the grand old Truths of the Gospel, sinners were converted and saints were edified and the world was made to know that there is a God in Israel. But these are too antiquated for the present cultured race of superior beings! They are going to regenerate the world by Democratic Socialism and set up a kingdom for Christ without the new birth or the pardon of sin. Truly the Lord has not taken away the seven thousand that have not bowed the knee to Baal but they are, in most cases, hidden away - even as Obadiah hid the Prophets in a cave." - A Dirge for the Down-grade and a Song For Faith, April 18, 1889<ref>[http://www.ccel.org/ccel/spurgeon/sermons35.xxiv.html A Dirge for the Down-grade and a Song For Faith]</ref>

	* "Whatever there may lack of grace and beauty in our speech, and our outward appearance, may there be no lack of Jesus Christ, set forth among the sons of men; for "men shall be blessed in him," and not without him. Great schemes of socialism have been tried and found wanting; let us look to regeneration by the Son of God, and we shall not look in vain. Nothing has come of newfangled preaching, from the first day till now; but never has the old faith of Jesus failed. Men have been blessed in Jesus, and they shall be blessed in him as long as the race shall exist." - Jesus "All Blessing and All Blest", February 1st, 1891<ref>[http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/2187.php Jesus "All Blessing and All Blest"]</ref>		* "Whatever there may lack of grace and beauty in our speech, and our outward appearance, may there be no lack of Jesus Christ, set forth among the sons of men; for "men shall be blessed in him," and not without him.
