Windy profession and airy talk!
(John Bunyan)
"Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and glorify your FATHER in Heaven!"
Matthew 5:16
O soul, consider this deeply--
Study and pray to be a consistent
O how much harm is done to CHRIST'S cause--
by the unholy walk of many professors!
"For GOD did not call us to be impure,
but to live a holy life!" 1 Thessalonians 4:7
(John Bunyan)
"Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works
and glorify your FATHER in Heaven!"
Matthew 5:16
O soul, consider this deeply--
it is the life of a Christian which
carries more conviction and persuasion
than his words. Though, like an angel,
you talk of CHRIST, of the gospel, of
the doctrines of grace, and of Heaven--
yet, if you indulge devilish tempers,
and live under the power of any
sinful lusts and passions--
you will hereby harden others
against the things of GOD and
prevent their setting out
in the ways of GOD.
Study and pray to be a consistent
walker in the ways of holiness; else,
all is but windy profession and airy talk.
O how much harm is done to CHRIST'S cause--
"For GOD did not call us to be impure,
but to live a holy life!" 1 Thessalonians 4:7
