Spurgeon on “Reconciling” God’s Sovereignty and Human Responsibility
There has been no shortage of debate amongst Christians about the relationship between divine sovereignty and human responsibility.

Charles Spurgeon on the Call to Ministry
“That hundreds have missed their way and stumbled against a pulpit is sorrowfully evident from the fruitless ministries and decaying churches around us. It is a fearful calamity to a man to miss his calling, and to the church whom he imposes himself, his mistake involves an affliction of the most grievous kind” – Charles Spurgeon
How does a man know if he is called to ministry? What exactly is a ministry call? What are the evidences or signs that someone has been called to preach?
