But I think many do. They may look him up for quotes and etc. But he has left us a legacy and model for preaching that hardly anyone seems to build upon.<BR/><BR/>I don't know anybody following Spurgeon's model in our day. There are good teachers, but they mostly teach. Or there are guys that hammer their people, but give little in the way of teaching (and there are the entertainers and 'relevant' guys etc).<BR/><BR/>Two other mistakes that need to be addressed: good teachers often assume all is well and that all understand what they are implying. They speak "we" more often than not, rather than addressing pointed items that "you" need to hear.<BR/><BR/>And the other is the formulaic preaching for conversion to congregations that hear the same invitations/warnings week after week.<BR/><BR/>The best preaching class anyone could ever take is the heartfelt study of the sermons of Charles H.
