Some Things to Think About

Do I expect others to be devoted to Christ’s interests while I am set upon furthering my own?
Do I count it right that others should take their lives in their hands and go forth to pestilential swamps to carry the sweet odor of Christ’s Name, where it has not been sounded, while I sit at home and do nothing to help them?
Do I enjoy the blessed liberty of the gospel, and all the riches of the grace of God of which it tells, and eat “my morsel alone,” not caring for others who are strangers to its truths?
Do I receive all from the pierced hand of Christ, and delight in the mercies of God, without presenting my body a living sacrifice, as I am exhorted to do in Romans 12:11I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)?
