1 Corinthians 14:20 - Homilies By E. Hurndall

Mind and Christianity.

I. RELIGION IS NOT MERE SENTIMENT .

II. RELIGION DEMANDS THE EXERCISE OF MENTAL POWERS .

III. THE MORE DEVELOPED THE MIND BECOMES UNDER GRACIOUS INFLUENCES , THE MORE USEFUL , HAPPY , AND HONOURED WILL THE POSSESSOR BECOME .

1. Better fitted to labour for God's glory.

2. For the advancement of mankind.

3. Will become himself more firmly established in the truth.

IV. CULTIVATE THE MIND .

1. Store it.

2. Exercise it vigorously. Generally minds are wrecked by too little effort, not by too much.

3. Discipline it carefully.

4. Keep it ever under salutary influences. Lest you become wise in your own conceit. Pride has great facility for entering by the door of knowledge.—H.
