One Lions. Two Lions. No Lion at All (A Spurgeon Sermon on Proverbs 22:13 & 26:13)

Clay Kraby Season 2 Episode 27

In this sermon on Proverbs 22:13 and 26:13, CH Spurgeon addresses the excuses of the slothful person, who claims, “There is a lion in the way,” to justify shirking his duty. 

Spurgeon uses this picture to expose the self-deception of laziness, particularly in spiritual matters. He warns that many put off repentance, obedience, and service by inventing obstacles that do not exist. Rather than delay, he urges hearers to set aside their excuses and fulfill their duties, trusting God to sustain them in the path of obedience. 

This sermon was preached on June 8, 1882 and is found in Volume 28 of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit.
