A Well-Ordered Life

As a Christian, I enjoy hearing preachers explain Bible texts. The Bible contains 66 books that form a unified whole. Each book has a purpose and a unique message, but the Bible can and should be read as a single story.

Charles Spurgeon was one of the greatest preachers and leaders in modern history. His sermons were read worldwide and are still widely read today. For decades, he preached to thousands in London every week.

I recommend that you read Spurgeon’s sermons to your kids. They are an excellent tool for helping young people understand the Bible’s message about God, man, Christ, and his future kingdom. While his language is a product of Victorian England, it can be understood with a little effort. A parent can help a kid make sense of more challenging words.

The following sermon is about living a well-ordered life, a life that leads to happiness. I have read it twice, and it is worth reading more than that. It is full of wisdom.
