When it comes to determining my all time favorite preacher in church history (outside of the New Testament) I cannot choose between George Whitefield and C. H. Spurgeon. I love both of these men, for very different reasons. Yet there’s no doubt in my mind that Steve Lawson is one of my favorite preachers of today. Here’s Pastor Steve Lawson teaching on the personal life of Whitefield. It is both deeply inspiring as well as immensely challenging. May God, in His mercy, raise up preachers such as Whitefield in our own day.
