Unfelt Truth.

Listen from:
“IT has been said―and it is much for the observation of our souls―that we should take care how we traffic with unfelt truth.
“A little knowledge, with personal exercise of spirit over it, is better than much knowledge without it. As the proverb says, ‘There is much food in the tillage of the poor’ (Prov. 13:2323Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. (Proverbs 13:23)). The poor make the most of their little. They use the spade, the hoe, and the mattock; they weed, and they dress, and turn up their little garden of herbs. And their diligence gets much food out of it. And we are to be these ‘poor’ ones, ever to use divine Scripture as they carry on their tillage, and make the most of little. It may be but ‘milk’ we feed on; but if we use our diligence to lay aside malice, and hypocrisies, and envies and the like, we shall be really feeding and growing (1 Peter 2:1-31Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. (1 Peter 2:1‑3)). And because of this, much more savor of Christ do we often find in those who have less knowledge; for theirs is the tillage of the poor.’ ...
“I desire to know the power of a little truth, rather, far rather, than increase the stock of truths.”
