The biblical remedy for pragmatism; a sermon preached by Charles Spurgeon in the context of the "Downgrade Controversy," the controversy surrounding the liberal views of Scripture creeping into the Baptist union of the time. Spurgeon takes Genesis 24 about Abraham's servant seeking a wife for Isaac, and reminds us that there is no room for compromise when we are on the errand of the King. We must not adulterate our doctrine, our church discipline, our standards of holiness. The true servant of God is responsible for diligence and faithfulness; but he is not responsible for success or non-success. Result are in God's hands.
