INSIGHT

Spiritual Seasons Mirror Nature

  • Christian life has seasons of activity and rest like nature, so constant peak effort is neither expected nor intended.
  • Spurgeon compares spiritual spring and winter to times when the church's "sap" moves outward in revival or inward in personal reflection.
ADVICE

Seize The Harvest Season For Outreach

  • Seize seasons when people can be gathered and are willing to hear the gospel by increasing outreach and meetings.
  • Spurgeon urges summer-to-winter transitions: when evenings draw in, "our harvest time comes," so cast nets day and night.
ADVICE

Use Your Strength Now And Watch It Multiply

  • Use your present spiritual strength to serve others rather than hoard it; serve in whatever niche God appointed you.
  • Spurgeon insists "as your days, so shall your strength be" and that one talent used will be multiplied.
