The Seeking Of The Kingdom Of God

Religion, In Its Purity, Is Not So Much A Pursuit As A Temper; Or Rather It Is A Temper, Leading To The Pursuit Of All That Is High And Holy. Its Foundation Is Faith; Its Action, Works; Its Temper, Holiness; Its Aim, Obedience To God In Improvement Of Self, And Benevolence To Men.

The Devil Can Counterfeit All The Saving Operations And Graces Of The Spirit Of God.

If You Seek In The Spirit Of Selfishness, To Grasp All As Your Own, You Shall Lose All, And Be Driven Out Of The World, At Last, Naked And Forlorn, To Everlasting Poverty And Contempt.

If We Make A Great Show Of Respect And Love To God, In The Outward Actions, While There Is No Sincerity In The Heart, It Is But Hypocrisy And Practical Lying Unto The Holy One.

Godliness Is More Easily Feigned In Words Than In Actions
