By Jason K. AllenAs Christians, we are called to share our faith, but we are also called to keep it. Like the Apostle Paul, every believer should aspire to the epitaph, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.”Perhaps no one in Baptist history better kept the faith than the illustrious Charles Spurgeon—especially as seen through the prism of the Downgrade Controversy. The year was 1887, and Spurgeon was in the winter of life.

I grew up near the tiny town of Spickard, Missouri—population 487. If you spread out a printed map of the Show Me State on a table, you’d have a tough time picking out Spickard. You won’t find a grocery store, a gas station, or even a stoplight in the town. Yet for decades there was a small Baptist church, where my father served as pastor starting in 1947. Spickard may not have had a fancy department store or a professional baseball team, but it had a faithful gospel witness.

Planting a new church, with all its ups and downs, is an incredibly exciting endeavor. Every prayer, possibility, hope, and certainly a few fears lie before you. When I think of the church plants I know and their leaders—including some I count as dear friends—I am instantly encouraged by their deep desire to bless and establish themselves in their communities. Many have left the comforts of well-established congregations and familiar places to reach the unreached with the gospel.
