Description

In this annotated edition of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's final address to the Pastors' College Conference in 1891 C.E., the renowned preacher delivers a resolute call to ministers for unwavering fidelity in the spiritual conflict against doctrinal error and moral compromise. Spurgeon structures his exhortation around three core elements: the inspired Word as the exclusive armory, the church as God's called-out army, and the Holy Spirit as indispensable strength mediated through Scripture. He emphasizes diligent preparation birthed in prayer, the Bible's inerrant sufficiency tested through trials, the church's need for purity and missionary zeal, and absolute dependence on the Spirit for effective ministry, while warning against actions that grieve divine enablement.

This edition preserves Spurgeon's original text while providing expansions through conservative evangelical exegesis, applying the historical-grammatical method to uncover authorial intent in passages like 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and Ephesians 6:10-18. Annotations address contemporary challenges to biblical authority, affirming critical texts' 99.99% fidelity to originals and rejecting subjective interpretations. Appendices offer deeper analysis on prayer's power (James 5:16), inerrancy defenses (Psalm 12:6), church discipline (1 Corinthians 5), the Spirit's Word-centered operation (John 16:13), ministerial surrender (Exodus 4:10-12), and contention for faith (Jude 3).

Ideal for pastors, scholars, and believers seeking rigorous engagement with Scripture's role in advancing truth, this work upholds evangelical principles of inerrancy and literal interpretation, equipping readers for faithful service in an age of theological drift.
