So preach that those who do not fall out with their sins may fall out with thee.

The Devil, it is true, is not exactly a doctor who has taken degrees, but he is very learned, very expert for all that. He has not been carrying on his business during thousands of years for nothing.

God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.
