It will be an ill day when our brethren take to bragging and boasting and call it 'testimony to the victorious Christian life.' We trust that holiness will be more than ever the aim of believers, but not the boastful holiness which has deluded some of the excellent of the earth into vain glory, and under which their firmest friends shudder for them.

Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.

Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the God of all grace.

Final perseverance is the necessary evidence of genuine conversion.
