Winslow, Mary-Some dying sayings

Posted on January 5, 2024 by WL

Octavius’s mother, Mary Forbes (1774–1854) had Scottish roots but was born and raised in Bermuda and was the only child of Dr. and Mrs George Forbes. On 6 September 1791, when she was just 17, she married Army Lieutenant Thomas Winslow of the 47th Regiment.

Piper, John Charles Spurgeon Preaching Through Adversity

Posted on December 30, 2023 by WL

You will face adversity. It’s only a matter of time. Likely you already have. How will you persevere through the oppressing moments of life?

But the question for pastors is even more difficult: How do you preach through adversity? How do you do heartwork when your heart is under siege and ready to fall? This is crucial. Preaching great and glorious truth, in an atmosphere that is not great and glorious, is an immense difficulty.

Drawing on the life and work of Charles Spurgeon, John Piper presents an inspiring vision of gospel ministry and offers practical counsel for how pastors keep going when the times are toughest-www.desiringgod.org
