More than a century ago, Charles Spurgeon asked the following question. We should ask it of ourselves today.
How are we to expect the gospel to be kept alive in the world if we do not hand it on to the next generation as the former generation handed it down to us. Oh, shall it ever be said a century hence, “The people of 1880 never thought of us in 1980, they let the gospel go: they allowed the doctrines to be denied one after another”?
—Charles Spurgeon, quoted in Iain Murray, The Old Evangelicalism (Banner of Truth, 2005)
