The Preacher's Analyst Volume 8 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 Excerpt: ...anxious void which even holy ordinances will not fill. This is, like bodily pain, a sign of disease. 2.--Undue eagerness after the acquisition of some earthly object. In this case the world takes the place of God. We shall find that our earthly ambition will absorb every other feeling. There will be a putting Him aside, and leaning and craving to earthly things. 3.--Easy yielding to temptation. As faith becomes weaker, so indeed the support against temptation is gradually removed. God alone can enable us to bear temptation or make a way for escape. But if God is distant, the support is removed, and the least breath will cause us to sink. 4.--Menewed strength in our carnal appetites. Without faith, the only power which can restrain them ceases to act, and the forces of evil grow stronger and stronger till they are beyond control. Thus we are tormented by appetites we had once subdued. III.--The means of recovery. It is evident that the means of recovery is to remove those causes which led to the fall. Therefore--1.--If caused by encroachments of the world the world must forcibly be shut out. The eager pursuit of its objects relaxed, its intercourse avoided, its pleasures shunned. 2.--If we have neglected the means, the neglect must be repaired. The word of God must be studied, the spirit of prayer cultivated, and intercourse with the good sought. 3.--If any sin is admitted, it must be cast out. So long as sin remains, our course must be a downward one. Lastly. Faith is strengthened by exercise, and flourishes by use. Let it never fall into disuse. But the great means is prayer. And our words should be ever, "Lord, increase our faith." MINOR MORALS. I. Cor. xiv. 40--" Let all things be done decently and in order." This injunction applies t...
