Warning

I fear much for professing Christians. I see no sign of fighting in them, much less of victory. They are at peace with Christ’s enemies. They have no quarrel with sin. I warn you, this is not Christianity.

I often fear much for those who hear the gospel regularly. I fear lest you become so familiar with the sound of its doctrines, that insensibly you become dead to its power. I fear lest your religion should sink down into vague talk about your own weakness and corruption, and a few sentimental expressions about Christ, while real, practical fighting on Christ’s side is altogether neglected. Oh! Beware of this state of mind.
