Ram’s Horn Wrinkles.

When sin hides it forgets that it can not cover up its tracks. Sinners never feel comfortable where they are not in the majority. The man who believe that God loves him will respect himself. Every Christian’s walk ought to have as piany italics in it as his talk. It is as hard for God to bless a stingy man as it is for rain to fall on a desert. One of the first things a backslider does is to pray for the Lord to give him more work. There isn’t any more sense in expecting to get without giving than there is for a loafer to look for a good crop where he has planted nothing. When the devil goes fishing he baits for hearts, not heads. Too many preachers do just the opposite. Some parents take their ch ldren to see the procession, and then whip them if they want to go to the circus. The Lord wants us to be witnesses, but about half the people in prayer meeting undertake to be advocates. There is not a mansion in heaven that would not be a thousand times hotter for the sinner than the lowest place in the pit.
