It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.

A saved soul has many sorrows. They have their share of bereavements, deaths, disappointments , crosses. What shall enable a believer to bear all this? Nothing but the consolation there is in Christ.

Happiness does not depend on outward circumstances, but on the state of the heart.
