About this sermon

A sermon delivered by C. H. Spurgeon, Lord's day morning, February 3rd 1856. Are you a half- asleep believer? Some of us do not feel we are firing on all cylinders, as we should. This sermon stirs us up to Christian activity and progress. Here is a warning from Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress concerning the Enchanted Ground. Spurgeon drew continually upon that book in his sermons, and derived great profit from the beloved Tinker. [For students of the life of Spurgeon one moment in this talk may be noted. Spurgeon makes, during this message, a passing reference to shouting “Fire!” to awaken his congregation (see 17:33 to 18:22). Some eight months later, on October 19th, at the Surrey Gardens Music Hall some people orchestrated a stampede, by shouting the same thing, from different parts of the building. Spurgeon tried to calm the congregation, but in vain. The ‘prank’ led to many injuries, and several deaths. Some say Spurgeon never quite recovered from the mental affliction he suffered then].
