Believe it or not, Charles Spurgeon has many relevant insights for us about entertainment in church. Even though he lived in the 19th century, his day mirrors our day. And he recognized the dangers of the entertainment-driven church.

"I wish it could be said of us that we wasted neither an hour of our time, nor an hour of other people’s time."

What does the New Testament gift of prophecy look like when it’s being exercised today?

And if the spiritual gift of prophecy continues in our day, what are we to do? Paul tells us exactly what to do: “Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.”

Our faith works like this too. In order to go into the future, we must reach into the past. We must go back to the future.

Prayer changes things. In any season of great uncertainty, the first thing—the best thing—a believer should do is pray. Spurgeon found this effective in his life, and if it is true of us, we will discover numerous benefits.
