FAQ and what's new at The Daily Spurgeon

Spurgeon preaching at Surrey

Actually, very little is really new here at The Daily Spurgeon, as the material we publish is over 100 years old. However, we know you find in Spurgeon's writings the timeless truths of the Word of God, set forth pungently, as he might have said.

SPURGEON MEETS FACEBOOK

I suppose someone will inevitably ask me if Spurgeon would have used Facebook. I can't answer that, but if you use Facebook (and tens of millions now do) you can now add The Daily Spurgeon to yours. Just visit this application link and you'll be off and running. You will have to log in, of course. If you'd like to help us go "viral," be sure to share the Spurgeon app with your Facebook friends and pass the inspiration along.

THOSE AWESOME NATURE PHOTOGRAPHS

One thing I've noticed is that people are very interested in the photographs we use on the site. All of the pictures we use are taken from Flickr, under a Creative Commons license. To download a photo, right-click on it and follow the instructions of your particular browser. However, if you intend to use any of the pictures you must follow the terms of the Creative Commons license. Not to do so is a copyright violation - not to mention rude! In order to see more options for the photo and see the license terms, click on the link we typically run below the Spurgeon excerpt. It will say "Flickr photo by [artist]..." Christians should always observe copyright and licensing laws - it's an important part of your testimony, even if you don't agree with them.
