Some men are not only spiritually dead, but

they are buried fathoms deep in despair. They have signed their own death warrants, though the Lord

has not yet written them out. Ye people of God, look out for those who think themselves beyond all

hope, and when you meet with them argue the point with them. Tell them that you were once in the

same plight as they are, and show them what grace did for you. Point them to the promises of God,

which are so suitable to their condition. Above all, tell them of the precious Savior, who does not quench the smoking flax, and who is able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by Him.

Charles H. Spurgeon
