How many of the
prospective heirs of the Kingdom find that they have defilements
along this line—malice, guile, hypocrisy, envy, evil speaking! It is
safe to say that everyone has some, if not all, of these weaknesses
in the flesh to contend with, especially at the beginning of his
entrance upon the Christian vocation. How carefully all should seek
to put all these away! How each should scrutinize not only every act
of life and every word and every thought, but, additionally, every
motive underlying his words, thoughts and actions, so that they may
be more and more purified from the earth’s defilements and be more
and more acceptable to the Lord! |
