Psalms 119:60 - Homilies By C. Short

The whole duty of man.

"I made haste , and delayed not to observe thy commandments."

I. A GREAT PART OF MAN 'S IRRELIGION IS IN THE DELAY OF PRESENT DUTY .

1. Most men purpose turning to Christ some time .

2. This purpose is one of man's greatest deceivers. It is the excuse for neglecting the present duty.

3. This purpose not fulfilled, progressively increases the difficulty of turning to Christ.

II. OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST IS OUR IMMEDIATE IMPERATIVE DUTY .

1. The wickedness of trifling with our convictions is very great.

3. God sometimes sends special influences to turn us to Christ. To neglect these is the quenching of the Spirit.—S.
