MODERN SCOTTISH PULPIT

Sermons by Ministers of Various DenominationsWe are warranted by Scripture in applying this analogy to the case of a once lost, but now recovered sinner.The blindness of all men by nature is great and deplorable. We wander far from God, without knowing what we are doing. The child perseveres in its wayward courses, the young man or young woman pursues with eagerness the paths of earthly gaiety, the prosperous man of business becomes more and more intent, every day, upon his schemes of aggrandisement the ambitious leader of a party sees nowhere to halt in his exciting career. These are all taken up with their several objects. They often think themselves wise in their generation. They often obtain the approbation of admiring circles gathered round them. But often they are all blind to the true character of the roads which they are rapidly traversing. Often they are blind to the danger of the dark mountains which they are approaching, and to the spiritual barrenness of the soil in which they are sowing their seed. But suddenly some one among them is awakened to the terrible certainties of his lost and wandering state. Conviction of his guilt, and experience of his corruption, have opened his eyes to discern a fearful abyss before his feet. He knows not which way to turn. The guilt of his sin stares him in the face.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
