Evening, Oct 18: Obedience Over Show

from Spurgeon Unbound · host Pierre Hulsebus

Send us Fan Mail 1 Samuel 15:22 (KJV), "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice." It is perfectly possible to give generously, sing beautifully and serve on every rota at church while quietly ignoring what Jesus actually said. From 1 Samuel 15:22 and the story of Saul, Spurgeon insists that no outward show of religion makes up for disobedience, even in the smallest thing. The episode closes with a prayer for attentive ears and willing hearts that carry out his lessons to the letter. This has been Spurgeon Unbound. Go well today.
