Horae Homileticae
3 comments | Permalink
Logos Bible Software is offering a pre-publication offer on Charles Simeon's massive, 21-volume, 12,000 page Horae Homileticae (originally published in 1832).
For background on Simeon, you can read or listen to John Piper's biographical sketch, Brothers, We Must Not Mind a Little Suffering.
The pulpits in our land would be well-served by following Simeon's lead, who applied three tests to the sermons he delivered: (1) Does it humble the sinner? (2) Does it exalt the Saviour? (3) Does it promote holiness.
Check out the Simeon Logos page for more information.

I love his three criteria for sermons. Very helpful!
Piper's biography of Simeon has been a huge help to me and I go back to it often. I highly recommend it.

The Gospel humbles the sinner, the Gospel exalts the Savior, and the Gospel is the only power for godliness and holiness. May Simeon inspire more men to ultimately look away from themselves, and focus on the good news in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
