NOT SAVED C.H. Spurgeon "The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved" (Jer. 8:20). NOT SAVED! Dear reader, is this your mournful plight? Warned of the judgment to come, bidden to escape for your life, and yet at this moment not saved? You know the way of salvation, you read it in the Bible, you hear it from the pulpit, it is explained to you by friends, and yet you neglect it, and therefore are not saved . You will be without excuse when the Lord shall judge the quick and dead. The Holy Spirit has given more or less of blessing upon the word which has been preached in your hearing, and times of refreshing have come from the divine presence, and yet you are without Christ. All these hopeful seasons have come and gone—your summer and your harvest have past—and yet you are not saved . Years have followed one another into eternity, and your last year will soon be here; youth has gone, manhood is going, and yet you are not saved . Let me ask you— Will yo...

THE VOICE BEHIND THEE C.H. SPURGEON Unabrided and Unedited Delivered on July 23, 1882 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left"..Isaiah 30:21 ON the Sabbath before last we spoke concerning "the still small voice." After the thunder and the fire and the earthquake had passed away, for the Lord was not in them, there came a still small voice unto Elijah, which reached the prophet's heart, and brought him back to his former condition of communion with God. This hopeful morning we shall hear that same "still small voice" actually speaking a warning and teaching word, and we shall see how it operates upon the sinner, reaching both his ear and his heart. God calls to the rebellious, and by his gentle word they are brought to his feet with repentance, turned from their evil wandering, and led in the way of ...

THE TIME IS SHORT C.H. SPURGEON Unabridged and Unedited Published on December 10, 1903 Delivered at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington "The time is short" (1 Corinthians 7:29). The text does not say that time is short. That would have been a true statement. Compared with eternity, time, at the very longest, is but as a pin's point. But note what the text does say: " The time is short." It is the time of our life, the space of our opportunity, the little while we shall be upon the present stage of action, that is short. It is narrow and contracted, as the original implies. "Behold," saith the psalmist, "thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee." Brief is the season we have allotted to us, brethren, in which we can serve the Lord our God. This is a truth which everybody believes, knows, and confesses. It is trite as a proverb on every tongue; yet how few of us act as if we believed it! We are ...
