Self-examination – it’s Office – Charles Spurgeon

A Highlander who purchased a barometer under a mis- taken idea of its purpose, complained that he could not see that it had made any improvement in the weather; and those who use signs and evidence for an intent which they will never answer, will be sure to complain that their faith is not increased, though they are always practicing self-examination. Yet a barometer has its nsis. and so, Live evidence of grace, to feel the pulse is an admirable thing; the mistake is to put this in the place of strengthening food or tonic medicine.
