WOW!!!!......Starting at 2'48" the proposed approach put forward with a possible or even a likely reconciliation with God is what led to this post. Was this 'inadvertent' or 'guided'?!!!!!! If the 19th century of Spurgeon was 'hectic', what can we say about the 21st century?!?!

Conscious of our guilt, we step quietly into the saving grace of God. Holy solitude is necessary. Seek to get alone in a humble posture of willing admission. Quiet reflection in solitary is to deliberate the conviction by the Lord Himself. Look into the mirror, examine your heart and see clearly what God sees. Do not be ignorant of the condition of your soul. If you are sick, one should be aware and seek healing. Know if you are drifting into danger. Are you in shallow waters, or in the deep, alone with God, accompanied only by the Bible.

Solitude, silence, and submission are often praised as paths to spiritual growth, but sometimes it feels like these ideas can encourage isolation and even self-suppression. Are we risking people withdrawing too much from healthy relationships and suppressing their emotions in the name of submission? Maybe we should be careful not to overemphasize silence and submission, and instead talk about a balanced approach that includes community support, honest expression, and active engagement with life.

You raise a valuable concern-solitude, silence, and submission can be powerful, but they shouldn’t lead to isolation or emotional suppression. Spurgeon’s message here is more about taking moments of quiet to connect with God and reflect, not withdrawing from life or relationships. True submission to God means finding strength in Him while also engaging with others and expressing ourselves honestly. It’s about balance-finding peace and wisdom in solitude and silence, but also embracing community and authentic expression as parts of a healthy spiritual journey

Don't know an idiom of Spurgeon's era but today we might say he was hitting on all eight cylinders with this teaching.

At minute 28 about confession some of us need to go back to minutes 10&11 about talking to God honestly and maybe all of should see that of our own desires we may likely be more focused on worldly rather than heavenly pursuits. Particularly likely as it seems 20th century preachers may have put in our minds the idea of the 'American dream' as compatible with the Bible. Then too, in times past, the scholasticism of the middle ages possibly introduced the likely insidious philosophy of ancient Greece and possibly Roman religious practices.

Pretty interesting what he said about going home alone after to church to think about what God had to say to you during the service. Very countercultural since Christians often go out to eat together after church nowadays and usually (tho not always) it is all small talk. 🤔

Yes, this solitude and silence is so biblical as it is not the unbiblical and dangerous one being espoused in many churches today that calls us to make our minds blank and take a mantra to centre on. They say take the name o Jesus, or peace or such. This is to make it sound Christian BUT its root is eastern religion. Too long To go into here but avoid all teaching that encourages you, in Christian terms, to empty your minds.
