NEGLIGENCE—OBEDIENCE.
Thus while I journey on, my Lord to meet,
My thoughts and meditations are so sweet,
Of Him on whom I lean, my strength, my stay,
I can forget the sorrows of the way.
NEGLIGENCE.
Negligence is the rust of the soul that corrodes through all her best resolves.
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?
O.
OBEDIENCE.
To be a Christian is to obey Christ no matter how you feel.
True obedience to God is the obedience of faith and good works; that is, he is truly obedient to God who trusts Him, and does what He commands.
I find the doing of the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.
The virtue of paganism was strength; the virtue of Christianity is obedience.
—Guesses at Truth.
