The Power of The Pulpit: How Preaching Transforms the World - Gardiner Spring (Audiobook)

Audiobook of the 1849 book, The Power of The Pulpit: Thoughts Addressed to Christian Ministers and Those Who Hear Them by Gardiner Spring. This version has been revised in 2024.This book, The Power of the Pulpit, stands among such classics as Lectures to My Students by Charles Spurgeon and Preachers and Preaching by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, offering profound insights and timeless wisdom for those called to proclaim God's truth.Gardiner Spring writes: "The pulpit claims no physical power; its strength is in its moral influence. Its conflict is not one of weapons, but of truth against falsehood. Its victories do not involve subduing others but lifting them up. Its power goes beyond the battlefield, the court, and the Senate. It surpasses them all. Evaluate them fairly and consider which holds the widest influence and occupies the most space in shaping society. While secular forces like armies and governments hold power, the pulpit has had a deeper and more lasting impact. Who did more for England—statesmen like Edmund Burke and William Pitt, or preachers like George Whitefield and Robert Hall? Who contributed more to Scotland—warriors like Robert Bruce, or ministers like John Knox and Thomas Chalmers?"Paperback book: https://amzn.to/3CM6sY3Listen on Scroll Reader: https://scrollreader.com/audiobook/the-power-of-the-pulpit/Chapters: (0:00) Introduction (1:37) 1 - The Fact Illustrated: The Pulpit Has Power (18:01) 2 - The Same Subject Continued (28:08) 3 - The Same Subject Continued (43:16) 4 - The Broader Influence of the Pulpit (55:32) 5 - The Consequences of Silencing the Pulpit (1:04:58) 6 - The Truth of Which the Pulpit Is the Vehicle (1:31:59) 7 - The Living Teacher (1:55:12) 8 - The Divine Authority of the Christian Ministry (2:19:31) 9 - The Pulpit Associated With the Power of God (2:38:35) 10 - The Great Object of Preaching (3:02:20) 11 - Ministerial Diligence (3:35:15) 12 - All Efforts Directed Toward the Pulpit (4:00:08) 13 - The Preacher’s Interest in His Immediate Subject (4:21:13) 14 - Ministers Must Be Men of Prayer (4:36:31) 15 - The Personal Holiness of Ministers (4:57:28) 16 - The Example of Ministers (5:23:32) 17 - The Responsibility of Ministers (5:38:40) 18 - Raising Up Men Into the Ministry (5:46:13) 19 - Ministry Compared With Other Professions (6:20:12) 20 - The Fitting Education for the Christian Ministry (6:45:09) 21 - The Financial Support of Ministers (7:08:47) 22 - Prayer for Ministers (7:20:25) 23 - The Consideration Due to the Christian Ministry (7:34:13) 24 - The Responsibility of Enjoying the Christian Ministry
