Quotes to Note 40: Spurgeon on Election

I’ve done 40 Quotes to Note posts, over the years now, and I have yet to post a quote from Charles Spurgeon! Perhaps I haven’t because he is so quotable, everyone else quotes him. But I stumbled across this quote again as I was teaching through my Sunday School series on Reformation doctrine again this Fall.

The above graphic was produced with the help of Logos 6’s visual copy feature. Highlight text from a work in Logos and easily create a quotable graphic as you see below with just a few clicks! To learn more about Logos 6 click here.

Logos gives the source of the quote as: Spurgeon, The Sword and Trowel: 1874 (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1874), 44. I originally found it in Joel Beeke, Living for God’s Glory (Reformation Trust, 2008), 60. Beeke’s source was: Spurgeon, C.H. Spurgeon Autobiography, Vol. 1: The Early Years, 1834-1859 (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 1962), 166.

Powerful New Tools in Logos 6

Logos 6 is hereLogos 6 is out. By all accounts this software is one of the best tools for Bible study available. I have seen what Bibleworks can do, and have been in classes where Accordance was on display. But I have never really spent a lot of time with Logos before. And what I am seeing is blowing my mind.

Here are a couple videos of two new (or enhanced) tools that are available with the new Logos 6. I’m looking forward to exploring these tools out as I prepare to write my own review of Logos 6. If you have been wondering if you should upgrade to version 6, these videos may convince you to take the plunge!
