Chuck Spurgeon is my Homeboy

February 29, 2008

Preliminary Disclaimer:

This is more of a tongue-in-cheek parody of the Chuck Norris fad than it is anything. This is not an attempt to make Charles Spurgeon a type of super-saint, for he was not. He was just another vessel, upon whom was bestowed mercy and grace, that God used on Earth for His own good pleasure. These so-called ‘facts’ are completely false. They are to be taken lightly and not seriously. If you take anything away from this blog, take from it a desire to read the biographies of faithful Christians “…of whom the world was not worthy.”

I did find it very funny, though.
