If You Long To Be

When God Is About To Do A Great Work, He Pours Out A Spirit Of Supplication.

Christ Is The True Light Of The World; It Is Through Him Alone That True Wisdom Is Imparted To The Mind.

What Self-righteous Persons Take To Themselves, Is The Same Work That Christ Was Engaged In When He Was In His Agony And Bloody Sweat, And When He Died On The Cross, Which Was The Greatest Thing That Ever The Eyes Of Angels Beheld. Christ Could Accomplish Other Parts Of This Work Without Cost; But This Part Cost Him His Life, As Well As Innumerable Pains And Labors. Yet This Is The Part Which Self-righteous Persons Go About To Accomplish For Themselves.

The Wrath Of God Burns Against Them, Their Damnation Does Not Slumber; The Pit Is Prepared, The Fire Is Made Ready, The Furnace Is Now Hot, Ready To Receive Them; The Flames Do Now Rage And Glow.

Family Education And Order Are Some Of The Chief Means Of Grace; If These Are Duly Maintained, All The Means Of Grace Are Likely To Prosper And Become Effectual.
