Spurgeon's Cigar: December 2014
http://spurgeonscigar.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Typically, I spend much time alone, whether sitting at home or out and about. An academic and contemplative life demands frequent isolation, and the person so "geared" would be frustrated indeed without the solace of silence. But I must look to Jesus as my example here who, despite His need for sacred hours of devout aloneness, almost daily subjected Himself to the whirling vortex of social engagement. The. Cannot be the calling of a dutiful Christian. S. Anyone with the sligh...

Spurgeon's Cigar: Tear Down the Lighthouse
http://spurgeonscigar.blogspot.com/2015/05/tear-down-lighthouse.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. Tear Down the Lighthouse. Two citizens gazed out from the rocky shore onto the tumultuous sea before them, waves raging and winds roaring with the sudden storm's siren song, hauntingly intoned with the howling shrieks of errant travelers who now faced imminent death. They had ignored the lighthouse. Opponere: I think we should tear it down at once! Avocat: Tear it down? Why would you tear it down? Opponere: Well, sir, are you blind? Avocat: Sir, that is a fool's bargain. The lightho...

Spurgeon's Cigar: August 2014
http://spurgeonscigar.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. The Death of Robin Williams and the "Celebrity Effect". I have tried to contemplate and envision Robin Williams' thoughts and actions leading up to his suicide. What was he thinking? What kind of desperation, self-pity, or self-loathing motivated him to affix a belt between the door and door frame just high enough to hang himself? How severe were the "acute" cuts on his wrist before he hanged himself, and why did he reject the razor for the rope? What motivated my Facebook pos...

Spurgeon's Cigar: May 2014
http://spurgeonscigar.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2014. God saw that the earth was without form, and void. He caused life to spring therefrom. The ground itself was to produce the beasts of the field; the dust of the earth was to make man. Moses knew the power of life springing from death. Aaron’s rod that miraculously budded, life-giving waters flowing from a stone, even the blood of the lambs covering the doors of the Hebrew people all portend the gospel. 8220;Thy life’s a miracle; speak yet again.”.

Spurgeon's Cigar: April 2013
http://spurgeonscigar.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 12, 2013. On Wine and Broken Bread at Communion. Three issues are relevant to whether a congregant ought to have the option of eating broken bread and drinking wine at communion:. 1 Whether Jesus intentionally chose broken bread and wine, to the exclusion of other possible elements, to represent His body and blood. 2 Whether churches have an obligation to preserve the sacrament of communion as Christ intended it to be practiced. 8221; The Baptist pastor cannot rely at that point on language...
