The Heart of the Gospel

Spurgeon reinforces the necessity of holding fast to the truths of the Gospel and not deviating and being distracted by the latest new thing. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2:2: "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified":

"...God grant us this day that our ship may have nothing on board it that may merely gratify the curiosity, or please the taste, but that there may be necessary Truths for the salvation of souls. I would have each one of you say—“Well, it was just the old, old story of Jesus and His love and nothing else.” I have no desire to be famous for anything but preaching the old Gospel. There are plenty who can fiddle to you the new music—it is for me to have no music at any time but that which is heard in Heaven—“Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, to Him be Glory forever and ever!”... "
