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.

"We have gospels nowadays which I would not die for, nor recommend anyone of you to live for, inasmuch as they are gospels that will be snuffed out within a few years."

"Grace is the essence of the gospel. Grace is the one hope for this fallen world! Grace is the sole comfort of saints looking forward for glory!"
