No life can surpass that of a man who quietly continues to serve God in the place where providence has placed him.

Thou hast put me in this world for something, Lord; show me what that is, and help me to work out my life-purpose: I cannot do much, but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, so, Lord, I cast my time and eternity too into thy treasury; I am all thine; take me, and enable me to glorify thee now, in all that I say, in all that I do, and with all that I have.

To pretend to trust Christ to save you from sin while you are still determined to continue in it is making a mockery of Christ.
