As God can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give them faithful, sincere, and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world, is to give them over to blind, unregenerate, carnal, lukewarm, and unskilled guides. And yet, in all ages, we find that there have been many wolves in sheep's clothing, many that daubed with untempered mortar, that prophesied smoother things than God did allow.
What is it to receive a false peace, a false hope of salvation? Many have gone a great length but they have not come to Christ because of defects in their convictions and in their thinking. What is a true Gospel conversion? What is true peace? Turn ye away from all who cry, "Peace, peace, when there is no peace!" Cry to God for a genuine heart-searching as you read this timely, awakening message! |
