A Blast of the Trumpet Against False Peace
By C.H. Spurgeon0JER 6:14MAT 7:21C.H. Spurgeon delivers a powerful sermon warning against the dangers of false peace, emphasizing that ministers who promote comfort without confronting sin are guilty of leading souls astray. He likens such ministers to cruel physicians who enable disease rather than heal it, urging listeners to recognize their own complacency and the false security that comes from ignoring their spiritual state. Spurgeon calls for self-examination, challenging individuals to confront their sins and seek true peace through Christ, rather than relying on empty assurances or worldly distractions. He stresses the importance of understanding the gospel and warns that ignorance of spiritual truths can lead to eternal consequences. Ultimately, he implores his audience to awaken from their slumber and prepare to meet God, as true peace is found only in a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ.
