“For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.” 2 Corinthians 4:11 . “If man puts to death his human lusts, and by the Spirit puts to death the works of the body, he would perpetually carry in his body “the dying of the Lord Jesus” until he reaches a stage like that of an infant who has no feelings of sensual pleasures, and lacks the motives practiced by grown-ups.

“His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” Matthew 25:23 . “Do not assume that this work concerning the usage of talents does not concern you as well. Indeed, you cannot work from this highly important position, but you can act in as much opportunity as you are allowed. Wherever Christ is attacked, defend him, answer those who grumble, rebuke those who blaspheme, and do not befriend them. Fulfill your duties in your homes.…
