Transformation Tuesday: George Whitfield

We could only briefly get to know George Whitfield. I mentioned that George Whitfield was a hero of Steve Lawson. In this lecture, Steve Lawson goes into more depth about Whitfield. It is a lengthier video, but you will be inspired to holy and fervent living through simply hearing about this man.

Lawson shows Whitfield’s influence on Charles Spurgeon:


Often as I have read his life, I am conscious of a distinct quickening whenever I turn to it. He lived. Other men seem to be only half alive. But Whitfield was all life, fire, wing, force. My own model, if I may have such a thing under the due subordination of my Lord, is George Whitfield. But with unequal footsteps must I follow in his glorious path.”

Lawson points out that we are still living off the capital of the Great Awakening, for it was such a great time of spiritual outpouring and transformation. Listen to this lecture and learn how God used George Whitfield in this remarkable time.
