What else do Spurgeon and MacArthur have in common?

Today Charles Spurgeon would have celebrated his 175th birthday while John MacArthur celebrates his 70th. Happy birthday gentlemen.

    Both defended/defend the faith that they believe…I believe that Spurgeon ministered to a different group of people (urban) than John, so the presentation comes across different, especially in sermons

    Spurgeon stood up for the gospel (some would even say he gave his life) against the downgrade controversy of his day.

    MacArthur has stood up for the gospel against the church growth movement of his day.
