Satura Apologia Today
Ancient Rome – Thud! Breaking news as Charles Haddon Spurgeon belly flops onto a roman road. As he hit the ground, the Prince of Preacher’s was rudely awakened from his temporary reprieve from the apostle Paul’s sermon. The man sitting next to Spurgeon on the window ledge reported that at the sermon’s six hour and fifteen-minute mark Spurgeon started to snore. It was about five minutes after that when Pastor Spurgeon fell out the window and had to be resurrected by the Power of God.
Paul had invited Spurgeon to come and listen to one of his sermons in the 1st century. “I am a big fan of Pastor Spurgeon.” Paul told the excited Christians. “He will be a big deal in twenty or so centuries from now.”
When the Spurgeon had been revived, those close to Surgeon report that Spurgeon had offered to give the Paul some sermon tips. “Paul” Spurgeon said. “Christian history owes a lot to you. However, you need to figure out how to keep people awake long enough so you don’t have to raise the dead when your sermon finishes.” Spurgeon proceeded to invite Paul to his Church to see how it was done. At publishing time, Spurgeon was praying that nobody fell asleep on the weekend of Paul’s visit.
