Cumbria
is an English county known
worldwide, not least for having at its heart
the beautiful Lake District National Park,
nominated to become a World Heritage site.
Then there’s the Keswick Convention, a
name which has also rippled around
the
world. And yet another famous export are
Derwent Pencils.
Knowing God Better
Depending on God’s Spirit

‘I believe in the Holy Ghost,
I believe in the Holy Ghost.’
It was apparently the habit of the great
Baptist preacher, C. H. Spurgeon, to say this
quietly under his breath every
time he
mounted
the
steps of
the pulpit at
the
Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. Even if
the story is apocryphal, Spurgeon’s ministry
affirmed the importance of the Spirit’s work:
‘Men might be poor and uneducated, their
words might be broken and ungrammatical;
but if the might of the Spirit attended them,
the humblest evangelist would be more
successful than the most learned divine
or the most eloquent of preachers.’
