Persist in Prayer for the Lost — Charles Spurgeon
“Until the gate of hell is shut upon a man we must not cease to pray for him. And if we see him hugging the very doorposts of damnation, we must go to the mercy seat and beseech the arm of grace to pluck him from his dangerous position. While there is life there is hope, and although the soul is almost smothered with despair, we must not despair for it, but rather arouse ourselves to awaken the Almighty arm.”
- Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)
taken from: Mary Magdalene, Sermon No. 792, January 26, 1868.
What a great truth from Spurgeon! At the Sheppard’s Conference in March, Steve Lawson spoke on “Spurgeon the evangelist!” It brought down the house and was a great encouragement to all in attendance!
Bet it was great, Steve! Wish I could have been there.
