Mr. Spurgeon either some how tapped into something that we, in 2010, need to hear. Or this has always been an issue (I think its the second one personally).
Sin! From your fruitful womb what myriads of ills proceeded! What countless hosts of evils are the fruits of sin! How many are the sins themselves! Sins of thought–rebellious thoughts, proud thoughts, blasphemous thoughts, atheistic thoughts, covetous thoughts, lustful thoughts, impatient thoughts, cruel thoughts, false thoughts, thoughts of ill memory, and dreams of an unholy future; what swarms are there! However, the omission of thoughts, which should have been such as thoughts of repentance, gratitude, reverence, faith, and the like–these are equally numerous. With the double list, my roll is written within and without with a hideous catalogue. As the gnats that swarm the air at eventide, so numerous are the transgressions of the mind.- Charles Spurgeon
