That Monster

 How long will it be ere they believe me? Numbers 14:11

"STRIVE with all diligence to keep out that monster unbelief. 
 
 It is true it is a weed, the seeds of which we can never entirely
extract from the soil, but we must aim at its root with zeal and perseverance. 
---Among hateful things it is the most to be abhorred. 
Its injurious nature is so venomous that he that exerciseth it and he upon whom it is exercised are both hurt thereby. .....the granaries of heaven are not likely to be emptied by our eating
 
Bunyan tells us that unbelief has "as many lives as a cat:" if so, let us kill one life now, and continue the work till the whole nine are gone. Down with thee, thou traitor, my heart abhors thee."  
Charles Spurgeon
