  1. 0:300:37…"THE persons to whom this gracious invitation was addressed were in a terrible condition; they could not well have been in a worse plight. They had provoked God above measure by their many sins.

    Possibly like addressing people at twelve step meetings now some 3000 years later.

    Step 2) came to BELIEVE a power GREATER THAN ourselves could restore us to SANITY.

    I only came to understand after listening to Spurgeon's teachings albeit spending some 30 years of twelve step meetings.

  2. 3:584:06…"Surely, you have indulged long enough in hesitancy, and delay, and questioning, and promise breaking"

    Those addressed were 'nominal' believers. BUT, those of us who were content with being contemptuously ignorant could learn from this message IF?.

  3. 18:29…"“My Lord,” saith he, “I would be reconciled to thee if I could; but, alas! sin lieth at the door, and I am no ordinary sinner"

    Refers to Genesis 4 and helpful if considered. BUT, see Spurgeon's sentence previous to this.

    Preachers today would do well to study Spurgeon's teachings??!!

    A preacher right around the corner from where I live never even heard of Spurgeon.

  4. 20:30…"because your sin, which was like a great stone that had been rolled between you and your God, has been rolled right away by God"

    Lazarus was also dead and a STONE was moved.

    New International Version
    So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me

    I was thinking of the saying about teaching old dogs new tricks but here we see God teaching dead dogs new tricks.

  5. 24:1424:23…"I recollect when I used to say to myself, when I was quite a lad, “If God does not punish me for my sin, he ought to do so.” That thought used to come to me again and again"

    Is such a thought as Spurgeon here describes at all common?

    I do now talk with one RC who claims that he recalls teachings from elementary school but what of Spurgeon's thought here?
