I've heard and seen some of his older messages from the 50's up to maybe the early 70's. It is often pretty hard hitting, especially when compared to today's standard of health/wealth or self esteem gospels. The altar call aside, his approach from about the mid 50's onward was objectionable due to his cooperation with liberal protestants and Roman Catholics in putting on his crusades. That's why Lloyd-Jones stood almost alone among British evangelicals in not working with Graham during his British crusades.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
