Other members may be interested that the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London (of which Spurgeon was a pastor) has re-launched the magazine, first started by Spurgeon, "The Sword and Trowel." It is now sent by email to subscribers, completely free, every two weeks. You can subscribe at:
Here is a synopsis of the current issue, so you can see what sorts of matters are covered:
"This week we bring you news from occupied stretches of eastern and southern Ukraine, where Pastor Vladimir Rytikov has been arrested after being accused of unlawful ‘missionary activity’, and faces deportation.
John Newton’s ‘How sweet the name of Jesus sounds’ provides ten biblical names of Christ. In a devotional article based on Song of Solomon 1:3, Dr Peter Masters shows how the names of Christ lift the soul in the most testing of circumstances.
There is a growing trend among Bible believers to claim that temptation is not sinful unless it is acted upon. Dr Masters asks, “Is temptation sinful?” and presents practical helps for sanctification.
A further news item we are thankful for is the astonishing outcome of the new Arabic YouTube channel, securing 66,000 subscribers and over 4 million views in a matter of months. It is surely the Lord’s doing!
Pastor Malcom Watts presents a stirring defence of the free offer of the Gospel. How passionate are we for the soul-saving message of redemption?
And two messages by Dr Masters outline the biblical roles of men and women, looking beyond modern stereotypes to the enduring qualities presented in God’s Word.
Finally, our upcoming Day of Special Studies at the Tabernacle will cover the topic of ‘Reforming Our Prayer’. This is a foundational topic, and one which we pray will be a spur to all."
