No Change in Jehovah
This is from a post on OldTruth.com

The following is an excerpt from "The Bond of the Covenant," preached Sunday morning, May 10, 1885 at the Met Tab in London. Once again we see that Spurgeon's poignant criticisms of 19th-century modernism are also perfectly suited for 21st-century post-modernism:
This generation has made a god of its own. The effeminate deity of the modern school is no more the true God than Dagon or Baal. I know him not, neither do I reverence him. But Jehovah is the true God: he is the God of love, but he is also robed in justice; he is the God of forgiveness, but he is also the God of atonement; he is the God of heaven, but he is also the God who sends the wicked down to hell.
We, of course, are thought to be harsh, and narrow-minded, and bigoted: nevertheless, this God is our God for ever and ever. There has been no change in Jehovah. He has revealed himself more clearly in Christ Jesus; but he is the same God as in the Old Testament, and as such we worship him.
--Charles Spurgeon

It's amazing how many of the past's preachers like Spurgeon were able to convey Biblical Truth and communicate in a way that was not framed or subject to the trends of their day. (UNLIKE MOST PEACHERS TODAY).
What they preached was above the trends. This is because they began and ended at the only source for saving Truth, the inerrant, infallible Word of God, the Bible.
Kenny, This sermon is a good one about this subject. Wellbeing or Woe - Which?
