Charles Spurgeon and the Downgrade Controversy

Erroll Hulse — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:45:58 +0000

By Erroll Hulse

Through the constant republication of his sermons and voluminous writings (135 books) the influence of Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) maintains an immense spiritual influence throughout the evangelical world. Over half a million visits have been made to The Spurgeon Archives, probably the best of several Spurgeon websites. The last five years of Spurgeon’s life, 1887-1892 were troubled and saddened by the Downgrade Controversy. Spurgeon carried an enormous workload. He possessed neither the time nor the energy to pursue and remedy the widespread doctrinal decline in the B U (Baptist Union). For any leader to appraise so great an issue would involve full-time work for more than one astute theologian. For his unwillingness to provide documentation concerning his allegations CHS was misunderstood and maligned. The controversy exacerbated his health problems. He admitted at one stage that the controversy was killing him.

A preliminary comment is needful with respect to the Baptist Union. There are many Baptist denominations around the world and they differ widely in character. In South Africa the battle over liberal theology was won in the 1920s so the B U of South Africa is evangelical and has managed to remain intact and resist soul-destroying liberal doctrines. As an introduction to Spurgeon I recommend Iain Murray’s book The Forgotten Spurgeon published by the Banner of Truth.

Report, Sermons and Photos from Ora et Labora (South Africa), January 2009

Irving Steggles — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:56:54 +0000

This was the fourth conference held near the beautiful city of Pretoria (click here for a report on the other conferences during January 2009). This time the speakers included Pastor Irving Steggles (Birchleigh Baptist Church, Kempton Park). He spoke on revival and delivered the conference sermon (’Motivation in the Ministry’). The conference was a tremendous success under the very capable leadership and organisational skills of Irving who was assisted by church members from Birchleigh Baptist and also from Constantia Park Baptist Church in Pretoria where Martin Holdt is senior pastor. The Book table ministry was also a great blessing here. The three days and two nights, including six meals cost each person the equivalent astounding sum of 70 Rand (£5.00). This is a admirable demonstration on just how far money given by churches in both the USA and the UK can go towards financing more APC’s in future years.

The following sermons were preached and recorded at the African Pastors’ Conference in Ora et Labora, January 2009:
