God's Purposes and the Use of Means

We must never fall into the delusion that the purposes of God set aside the use of means. I have heard thoughtless or captious talkers say, “If God works out his purposes, then there is no need for preaching, or any other means.” Ah, simpleton that thou art, if we teach you that God works out his purposes by means, how mad must you be to charge us with thinking lightly of the means!—Spurgeon.
