If We Would Talk Less And Pray

Unless Men See A Beauty And Delight In The Worship Of God, They Will Not Do It Willingly.

There Are Two Things That Are Suited To Humble The Souls Of Men, And They Are, First, A Due Consideration Of God, And Then Of Themselves - Of God, In His Greatness, Glory, Holiness, Power, Majesty, And Authority; Of Ourselves, In Our Mean, Abject, And Sinful Condition.

Not To Be Daily Mortifying Sin, Is To Sin Against The Goodness, Kindness, Wisdom, Grace, And Love Of God, Who Hath Furnished Us With A Principle Of Doing It.

Selfishness Is The Making A Man's Self His Own Centre, The Beginning And End Of All He Doeth.

If We Do Not Abide In Prayer, We Will Abide In Temptation. Let This Be One Aspect Of Our Daily Intercession: "god, Preserve My Soul, And Keep My Heart And All Its Ways So That I Will Not Be Entangled." When This Is True In Our Lives, A Passing Temptation Will Not Overcome Us. We Will Remain Free While Others Lie In Bondage.
