Apostasy (6)
If the faith of one individual were in danger of being overturned (for we are speaking of the perdition of a single soul redeemed by the blood of Christ), the pastor should immediately gird himself for the combat; how much less tolerable is it to see whole houses overturned?
None sink so far into hell as those that come nearest heaven, because they fall from the greatest height.
There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God's sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience
At the moment when he offered his services, he was no hypocrite, at least not consciously so. And when he afterward prayed, studied the Word of God, and even preached it with the other disciples, it was doubtless done for a time with a degree of inward truthfulness. [But] amid pious sentiment an evil root remained within, which was the love of the world.The Suffering Saviour
The heathen world has no Judas, and could not produce such a character. Such a monster matures only in the radiant sphere of Christianity. He entered into too close contact with the Savior not to become entirely His or wholly Satan's.The Suffering Saviour
