Petrified 8/8 Monday meditation

Taking a break from Smith Wigglesworth today to copy this quote I found from John G. Lake:

The difficulty with church has been that men were induced to confess their sins to Christ and acknowledge Him as Savior and there they stopped, there they petrified, there they withered, there they died, dry rotted. I believe that in these phrases I have expressed the real thing that has taken place in 85% percent of professing Christians.
