“Those who are members of local churches without being members of Christ’s body have been placed in a position of extremely dangerous false assurance and are unequally yoked with converted church members. It is kinder and wiser to refuse to admit such to membership rather than to give them the benefit of the doubt. A challenge to their false hopes will probably do more to bring them to their spiritual senses (Acts 8:13–24).” (Page 24)
“It is not so easy to contend with Satan when he employs the service of some one whom you esteem highly, and love with all your heart.” (Page 44)
“One of the greatest mercies God bestows upon us is his not permitting our inclinations and opportunities to meet.” (Page 328)
“Remember that to trust God in the light is nothing, but to trust him in the dark—that is faith. To rest upon God when everything witnesses with God—that is nothing; but to believe God when everything gives him the lie—that is faith. To believe that all shall go well when outward providences blow softly is any fool’s play, but to believe that it must and shall be well when storms and tempests are round about you, and you are blown farther and farther from the harbour of your desire—this is a work of grace.” (Page 41)
“for meditation: Three things about the Christian life which the Christian needs to remember at all times:—the fact of sin (1 John 1:8, 10), the forgiveness of sin (1 John 1:7, 9; 2:1–2) and the fight with sin (1 John 2:1). The first should protect us from pride, the second from despair and the third from licence. Forget any one of these and you are at risk.” (Page 179)

Once again it has been good to have a bit of Spurgeon as part of my daily devotions. I continue to find Crosby's "For Meditation" at the end of each passage to be a good addition. Now on to the next volume :)
