Old Truths Are Always New To Us,

Conversion Is Not The Smooth, Easy-going Process Some Men Seem To Think... It Is Wounding Work, This Breaking Of The Hearts, But Without Wounding There Is No Saving... Where There Is Grafting There Will Always Be A Cutting, The Graft Must Be Let In With A Wound; To Stick It Onto The Outside Or To Tie It On With A String Would Be Of No Use. Heart Must Be Set To Heart And Back To Back Or There Will Be No Sap From Root To Branch. And This, I Say, Must Be Done By A Wound, By A Cut.

Take Heed Of Driving So Hard After This World, As To Hinder Thyself And Family From Those Duties Towards God, Which Thou Art By Grace Obliged To; As Private Prayer, Reading The Scriptures, And Christian Conference. It Is A Base Thing For Men So To Spend Themselves And Families After This World, As That They Disengage Their Heart To God's Worship.

At The Day Of Doom Men Shall Be Judged According To Their Fruits. It Will Not Be Said Then, Did You Believe? But, Were You Doers Or Talkers Only?

See How Ye Pharisee In The Temple Stands, And Justifies Himself With Lifted Hands. Whilst Ye Poor Publican With Downcast Eyes, Conscious Of Guilt To God For Mercy Cries.

There Hath Not One Tear Dropped From Thy Tender Eye Against Thy Lusts, The Love Of This World, Or For More Communion With Jesus Christ, But As It Is Now In The Bottle Of God.
