Many of Spurgeon’s religious critics complained that his preaching in the common vernacular and in music halls was “irreverent.” Never mind that it was effective! How many times have we put our judgment of the process above the actual results of our behavior?!
In response to his critics concerning where Spurgeon held meetings, he said,
“Wherever people are assembled to worship God, that place is sacred, whether beneath the magnificent canopy of the blue sky or in a building such as that in which we are now assembled, every place is sacred when devoted to such a purpose, for Thou, God art everywhere.”
Jesus said the same thing when He told His disciples: “Wherever two or more are gathered in my name; I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20
