If We Would Talk Less And Pray

The Foundation Of True Holiness And True Christian Worship Is The Doctrine Of The Gospel, What We Are To Believe. So When Christian Doctrine Is Neglected, Forsaken, Or Corrupted, True Holiness And Worship Will Also Be Neglected, Forsaken, And Corrupted.

The Stronghold Of The Contemplation Of Christ's Glory Affords The Soul Rest, For It Will Be Made Evident That Our Troubles Grow On The Root Of An Over-valuation Of Temporal Things. The Mind Is Its Own Greatest Troubler.

The Indulgence Of One Sin Opens The Door To Further Sins. The Indulgence Of One Sin Diverts The Soul From The Use Of Those Means By Which All Other Sins Should Be Resisted.

Did You Never Run For Shelter In A Storm, And Find Fruit Which You Expected Not? Did You Never Go To God For Safeguard, Driven By Outward Storms, And There Find Unexpected Fruit?

To Believe That He Will Preserve Us Is, Indeed, A Means Of Preservation. God Will Certainly Preserve Us, And Make A Way Of Escape For Us Out Of The Temptation, Should We Fall. We Are To Pray For What God Has Already Promised. Our Requests Are To Be Regulated By His Promises And Commands. Faith Embraces The Promises And So Finds Relief.
