Do Not Waste Your Time

Life Is Short, And We Are Dull, And Eternal Things Are Necessary, And The Souls That Depend On Our Teaching Are Precious.

Holiness Is Nothing Else But The Habitual And Predominant Devotion And Dedication Of Soul, And Body, And Life, And All That We Have To God; And Esteeming, And Loving, And Serving, And Seeking Him, Before All The Pleasures And Prosperity Of The Flesh.

Get Masters Of Families To Do Their Duty, And They Will Not Only Spare You A Great Deal Of Labor, But Will Much Further The Success Of Your Labors. You Are Not Like To See Any General Reformation, Till You Procure Family Reformation. Some Little Religion There May Be, Here And There; But While It Is Confined To Single Persons, And Is Not Promoted In Families, It Will Not Prosper, Nor Promise Much Future Increase.

See That Your Chief Study Be About Heart, That There God's Image May Be Planted, And His Interest Advanced, And The Interest Of The World And Flesh Subdued, And The Love Of Every Sin Cast Out, And The Love Of Holiness Succeed; And That You Content Not Yourselves With Seeming To Do Good In Outward Acts, When You Are Bad Yourselves, And Strangers To The Great Internal Duties. The First And Great Work Of A Christian Is About His Heart.
