Oaks of the Faith


Oak trees tend to be known as well rooted trees that are around for a long time. Generations come and generations go, but these trees stick around, they see it all, have been through it all, they are there to stay.
Some preachers take on the characteristics of the oak. C.H. Spurgeon was one of these guys. Known for his elegant words and uncanny way to create an image of his faith solely through his speech, he had a way of capturing a person's imagination and transforming it into an experience that glorified God.
This man truly was an Oak. Here to stay.
"Do you not also know that the way to be really great is to be little, and that he who is greatest of all is the one who has learned to be least of all?"
- C.H. Spurgeon
