How long will you continue to live your present worthless life, dear friend? You know that the word of God is true; you have in your nearest friend the witness to the reality of the joy of salvation; and you say you would like to know yourself to be one of God's people; and yet you stick fast in the thick mire of soul-sluggishness. For that is the simple truth about your state. Alas, how many have died in that awful mire, to awake in hell. Arouse you, come to Christ, and live the short remainder of your life for Him!
