Why is the progress in my Christian Life so slow in spite of listening to many sermons?

I have asked myself that question many, many times.

I am reading the book “Morning and Evening” by CH Spurgeon and on October 12, page 572, he is asking the same question and answering it. He puts the question a little bit different.

He answers,” Because they neglect their times of prayer, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God’s WORD.

1. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it;

2. they want to have the corn, but they will not go out into the fields to gather it;

3. the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it;

4. the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it.”
