Resolved, To Ask Myself At

Every Christian Family Ought To Be As It Were A Little Church, Consecrated To Christ, And Wholly Influenced And Governed By His Rules. And Family Education And Order Are Some Of The Chief Means Of Grace. If These Fail, All Other Means Are Likely To Prove Ineffectual. If These Are Duly Maintained, All The Means Of Grace Will Be Likely To Prosper And Be Successful.

The Door Of God’s Mercy Is Thrown Wide Open, And Christ Stands In The Door And Says To Sinners ‘come.’

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

Christ Is Like A River In Another Respect. A River Is Continually Flowing, There Are Fresh Supplies Of Water Coming From The Fountain-head Continually, So That A Man May Live By It, And Be Supplied With Water All His Life. So Christ Is An Ever-flowing Fountain; He Is Continually Supplying His People, And The Fountain Is Not Spent. They Who Live Upon Christ, May Have Fresh Supplies From Him To All Eternity; They May Have An Increase Of Blessedness That Is New, And New Still, And Which Never Will Come To An End.

When God Is About To Bestow Some Great Blessing On His Church, It Is Often His Manner, In The First Place, So To Order Things In His Providence As To Show His Church Their Great Need Of It, And To Bring Them Into Distress For Want Of It, And So Put Them Upon Crying Earnestly To Him For It.
