Description:

(Circa 1864)

(Charles Spurgeon was a renowned Baptist preacher famous for his numerous literary works and sermons)

(The sermon would later be published on July 19th of 1906)

(This particular sermon, "Tempted of the Devil", is read by the preacher on the radio in TAPE 002)

"Our adversary, the devil, goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. We are taught by our Lord Jesus to pray, 'Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.' What we are taught to seek or shun in prayer, we should equally pursue or avoid in action. Very warily, therefore, should we endeavor to avoid temptation, seeking to walk in the path of obedience that we may never be guilty of tempting the devil to tempt us! We are not to enter the thicket in search of the lion. We may pay dear-"
-Charles Spurgeon, slightly modified by an unknown preacher
