I shudder to think how few young men are led by the Spirit, how few are on that narrow road which leads to life, how few are setting their affections on things above, how few are taking up the cross, and following Christ. I say all this with sorrow, but I believe, in God's sight, that I am saying nothing more than the truth.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, you form a large and most important class in the population of this country; but where, and in what condition, are your souls? Regardless of where we turn for an answer, the report will be one and the same! Let us ask any faithful minister of the gospel, and note what he will tell us. How many unmarried young people can he remember who come to the Lord's Supper? Who are the most backward about the doctrines of salvation, the most irregular about Sunday services, the most difficult to draw to weekly Bible studies and prayer meetings, the most inattentive to whatever is being preached? Which part of his congregation fills him with the most anxiety? Who are the Reubens for whom he has the deepest "searchings of heart"? Who in his flock are the hardest to manage, who require the most frequent warnings and rebukes, who cause him the greatest uneasiness and sorrow, who keep him most consto{╚ее7РY(ее%ЕgD'╚ее*\РY(ееgD'╚ее+░РY(ееgDА'╚ее,СY(ееeЕgD'╚ее-XСY(ееeЕugD`'╚ее.мСY(ееЕu%egDА'╚ее/ТY(ееgDЁ '╚ее8TТY(ееgD'╚ее9иТY(ееїїїgD'╚ее:№ТY(ееgD'╚ее;PУY(ееїgD'╚ее<дУY(ееgD'╚ее=°УY(ееїїїїїїїgDЁ '╚ее>LФY(ееїїїїїїїїgDp'╚ее?аФY(ееїїgD'╚ее@ЇФY(ееgD4'╚ееAHХY(ееїїїїїїїїgDЁ '╚ееBЬХY(ееїїїїїїїїgDЁ '╚ееCЁХY(ееgD'╚ееDDЦY(ееїїї']D'╚ееEШЦY(ее']D '╚ееFьЦY(ееїїї']D'╚ееG@ЧY(ееK @А @А      АААААААА А'ПППРe']D'╚ееOрЩY(ееeЕu']D'╚ееP4ЪY(ееЕuu5e']Dpt'╚ееQИЪY(ееeeuuue%e']D a'╚ееR▄ЪY(ее%ueeueue']Dp '╚ееS0ЫY(ееeuueeeeu']D`s'╚ееTДЫY(ееeeee%eeE']D t'╚ееU╪ЫY(ееeeu%ee%e']Dpr'╚ееV,ЬY(ееUU5uee%e']D` '╚ееWАЬY(ее%%eUeeue']D`r'╚ееX╘ЬY(ееe%ueeuue']D` '╚ееY(ЭY(ееuu55u%e']D` '╚ееZ|ЭY(ееeeuee%ue']D`l'╚ее[╨ЭY(ееeue%ueeu']D`t'╚ее\$ЮY(ееeeeuu%ee']D o'╚ее]xЮY(ееeeu%%euu']D`o'╚ее^╠ЮY(ееeeueuuu%']Dpo'╚ее_ ЯY(ееeueUU5ue']Dpo'╚ее`tЯY(ееueeeeeuu']D` they are rude and discourteous to all around them, think {Ўqьgт]╪S╬I─?t, the wall of division between you and heaven becomes higher and thicker, and the gulf to be crossed deeper and broader.

He even tempted Peter, the chosen Apostle, and made him deny his Lord. Surely his hostility towards man and God is to be despised.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Your enemy is restless. He never sleeps. He is always going around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He is always going back and forth in the earth, and walking up and down on it. You may be careless about your souls: but he is not. He wants your soul to make you miserable, like himself, and will have your soul if he can. Surely his hatred towards men and God is to be despised.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 And your enemy is cunning. For thousands of years he has been reading one book, and that book is the heart of man. He ought to know it well, and he does know it--all its weakness, all its deceitfulness, all its folly. And he has a storehouse full of temptations, such as are most likely to do the heart of man the most harm. Never will you go to the place where he will not find you. Go into the city--he will be there. Go into the wilderness--he will be there also. Sit among drunkards--and he will be there to help you. Listen to preaching--and he will be there to distract you. Surely such ill-will is to be despised.\cf0\fs24\pahe time. Lost time can never be redeemed. This too is a bitter cup to drink.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Others could tell you of grievous mistakes in judgment, from which they suffer all their lives. They had to have it their own way. They would not take advice. They formed some connection which has been altogether ruinous to their happiness. They chose a profession for which they were entirely unsuited. And they see it all now. But their eyes are only open when the mistake cannot be retrieved. Oh, this is also a bitter cup to drink!\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, young men, I wish you did but know the comfort of a conscience not burdened with a long list of youthful sins. These are the wounds that pierce the deepest. These are the arrows that drink up a man's spirit. This is the iron that enters into the soul. Be merciful to yourselves. Seek the Lord early, and so you will be spared many a bitter tear.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 This is the truth that Job seems to have felt. He says, "You write down bitter things against me and make me inherit the sins of my youth" (\cf2\ul Job_13:26\cf1\ulnone ). So also his friend Zophar, speaking of the wicked, says, "The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie with him in the dust" (\cf2\ul Job_20:11\cf1\ulnone ).\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 David also seems to have felt it. He says to the Lord, "Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways" (\cf2\ul Psa_25:7\cf1\ulnone ). \cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Beza, the great Swiss Reformer, felt it so strongly, that he named it in his will as a special mercy that he had been called out from the world, by the grace of God, at the age of sixteen.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Go and ask believers now, and I think many will tell you much the same.

Dangers Facing Young Men\cf0\fs28\par \pard\sb100\sa100\cf1\b0 There are some special dangers that young men need to be warned against.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\b\i\fs28 1) One special danger to young men is the sin of pride.\cf0\b0\i0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 I know well that all souls are in fearful peril. Old or young, it doesn't matter; all have a race to run, a battle to fight, a heart to humble, a world to overcome, a body to keep under control, a devil to resist; and we may very well say, who is sufficient for these things? But still every age and condition has its own peculiar snares and temptations, and it is well to know them. He that is forewarned is forearmed. If I can only persuade you to be on your guard against the dangers I am going to name, I am sure I shall do your souls an essential service.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Pride is the oldest sin in the world. Indeed, it was before the world. Satan and his angels fell by pride. They were not satisfied with their first situation and status. Thus pride stocked hell with its first inhabitants.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Pride threw Adam out of paradise. He was not content with the place God assigned him. He tried to raise himself, and fell. Thus sin, sorrow, and death entered in by pride.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Pride sits in all our hearts by nature. We are born proud. Pride makes us rest content with ourselves, think we are good enough as we are, keep from taking advice, refuse the gospel of Christ, turn every one to his own way. But pride never reigns anywhere so powerfully as in the heart of a young man.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 How common is it to see young men with big heads, high-minded, and impatient of any counsel! How often they are rude and discourteous to all around them, thinke, and especially their relatives, are stupid, and dull, and slow. They want no teaching or instruction themselves: they understand all things. It almost makes them angry to be spoken to. Like young horses, they cannot bear the least control. They must be independent and have their own way. They seem to think, like those whom Job mentioned, "You are the people, and wisdom will die with you" (\cf2\ul Job_12:2\cf1\ulnone ). And all this is pride.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Rehoboam was such a person, who despised the counsel of the old experienced men who stood before his father, and listened to the advice of the young men of his own generation. He lived to reap the consequences of his folly. There are many like him.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 The prodigal son in the parable was also such a person, who needed to have his share of the inheritance so he could set himself up in the lifestyle that he desired. He could not submit to live quietly under his father's roof, but would go into a far country and be his own master. Like the little child that will leave its mother's hand and walk alone, he soon feels the sting for his folly. He became wiser when he had to eat husks with the swine. But there are many like him.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, I beseech you earnestly, beware of pride. Two things are said to be very rare sights in the world: one is a young man that is humble, and the other is an old man that is content. I fear that this is only too true.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Do not be proud of your own abilities, your own strength, your own knowledge, your own appearance, your own cleverness. Do not be proud of yourself, and your endowments of any kind. It all comes from not knowing yourself and the world. The older you grow, and the more you see, the less reason you will  say. Who in their families give them the most pain and trouble? Who need the most watchfulness, and most often provoke and disappoint them? Who are the first to be led away from what is right, and the last to remember cautions and good advice? Who are the most difficult to keep in order and limits? Who most frequently break out into open sin, disgrace the name they bear, make their friends unhappy, embitter the older relatives, and cause them to die with sorrow in their hearts? Depend on it, the answer will generally be, "the young men."\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Let us ask the judges and police officers, and note what they will reply. Who goes to the night clubs and bars the most? Who make up street gangs? Who are most often arrested for drunkenness, disturbing the peace, fighting, stealing, assaults, and the like? Who fill the jails, and penitentiaries, and detention homes? Who are the class which requires the most incessant watching and looking after? Depend on it, they will at once point to the same group, they will say, "the young men."\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Let us turn to the upper classes, and note the report we will get from them. In one family the sons are always wasting time, health, and money, in the selfish pursuit of pleasure. In another, the sons will follow no profession, and fritter away the most precious years of their life in doing nothing. In another, they take up a profession as a mere form, but pay no attention to its duties. In another, they are always forming wrong connections, gambling, getting into debt, associating with bad companions, keeping their friends in a constant fever of anxiety. Note that rank, and title, and wealth, and education do not prevent these things!

So thought Felix and the Athenians to whom Paul preached, but it never came. The road to hell is paved with such ideas. Better make sure to work while you can. Leave nothing unsettled that is eternal. Run no risk when your soul is at stake. Believe me, the salvation of a soul is no easy matter. Every one needs a "great salvation," whether young or old; all need to be born again, all need to be washed in Christ's blood, all need to be sanctified by the Spirit. Happy is that man who does not leave these things uncertain, but never rests until he has the witness of the Spirit within him, testifying to him that he is a child of God.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, your time is short. Your days are but a brief shadow, a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes, a story that is soon told. Your bodies are not made of brass. "Even the young men," says Isaiah, "stumble and fall" (\cf2\ul Isa_40:30\cf1\ulnone ).

How strict is the command, "Clothe yourselves with humility" (\cf2\ul Col_3:12\cf1\ulnone ). And again, "Clothe yourselves with humility" (\cf2\ul 1Pe_5:5\cf1\ulnone ). This is the garment of which many seem not to have so much as a rag.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Think of the great example our Lord Jesus Christ leaves us in this respect. He washed the feet of His disciples, saying, "You should do as I have done for you" (\cf2\ul Joh_13:15\cf1\ulnone ). It is written, "Though he was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor" (\cf2\ul 2Co_8:9\cf1\ulnone ). And again, "He made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself" (\cf2\ul Phi_2:7\cf1\ulnone , 8). Surely to be proud is to be more like the devil and fallen Adam than like Christ. \cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Think of the wisest man that ever lived: I mean Solomon. See how he speaks of himself as a "little child," as one who "does not know how to carry out his duties" or manage for himself (\cf2\ul 1Ki_3:7\cf1\ulnone ). That was a very different spirit from his brother Absalom's, who thought himself equal to anything: "If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that he gets justice" (\cf2\ul 2Sa_15:4\cf1\ulnone ). That was a very different spirit from his brother Adonijah's, who "exalted himself, saying, I will be king" (\cf2\ul 1Ki_1:5\cf1\ulnone ). Humility was the beginning of Solomon's wisdom. He writes a{Ўqit down as his own experience, "Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him" (\cf2\ul Pro_26:12\cf1\ulnone ). \cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, take to heart the Scriptures just quoted. Do not be too confident in your own judgment. Stop being so sure that you are always right, and others wrong. Don't trust your own opinion, when you find it contrary to that of older men, and especially to that of your own parents. Age gives experience, and therefore deserves respect. It is a mark of Elihu's wisdom, in the book of Job, that "Elihu had waited before speaking to Job because they were older than he" (\cf2\ul Job_32:4\cf1\ulnone ). And afterwards he said, "I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know. I thought, 'Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom" (\cf2\ul Job_32:6-7\cf1\ulnone ). Humility and silence are beautiful graces in young people. Never be ashamed of being a learner: Jesus was one at twelve years. When He was found in the temple, He was "sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions" (\cf2\ul Luk_2:46\cf1\ulnone ). The wisest men would tell you they are always learners, and are humbled to find after all how little they know. The great Sir Isaac Newton used to say that he felt himself no better than a little child, who had picked up a few precious stones on the shore of the sea of knowledge.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, if you would be wise, if you would be happy, remember the warning I give you--beware of pride.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\b\i\fs28 2) Another danger to А $*0@@ @    `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├■   ■   ■                                                                                                                                              ЎЄ     Forms     `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├ReportsЎЄ                                                            Root Entry        АPGЭ╗B├└PropDataЎЄ                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ЎЄ                              ¤   ■   ■   ■                                                                                                                                                                                          ЎЄ                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ЎЄ╨╧рб▒с>■    ■                                                                                                                                                                    ЎЄ*╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠╠ф╜╢█0ЎЄ $*0 offering for each of      `п?Э╗B├ ╫HЭ╗B├Blob             ■   CustomGroupsЎЄ             `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├Databases         `п?Э╗B├ ╫HЭ╗B├0ЎЄ `п?Э╗B├ ╫HЭ╗B├Cmdbars            `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├DataAccessPages ЎЄ`п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├Scripts            `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├VBA         ЎЄ      Forms Modules         ЎЄ     `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├Databases         `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├0 ЎЄ                                                                                                                        ijфMSysDb ЎЄ                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ЎЄ $*0o all young men, bewar            PROJECT    1_VBA_PROJECTЎЄ                                                           VBA        6AЭ╗B├ ╫HЭ╗B├PROJECTwmЎЄ                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ЎЄ                      ¤   ■    ■   ■                                                                                                                                       ЎЄ├DirData            AcessVBAData            ЎЄustomGroups     `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├VBAProject    6AЭ╗B├ ╫HЭ╗BЎЄ            AcessVBAData            CЎЄ     `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├VBAProject        6AЭ╗B├6AЭ╗B├DirDataЎЄ $*0;_П4▓6Н в╔S6V2*░¤▒А0*Р pHВdф topic в@8= Vh Ц@▄\@ J< rstdole>stdole h%^*\G{0002043ь0-C 0046}#2.0#0#C:\WINDOWS\System32\e2.tlb#OLE Autom`ation`mADODB>В ADOАъBDЩАЎЄ DPB="64669E52E285E385E385" GC="96946CBCACDCDFDDDFDD20" [Host Extender Info] &H00000001={3832D640-CF90-11CF-8E43-00A0C911005A};VBE;&H00000000 [Workspace] ├0ЎЄ `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├DaID="{1E1FE0E2-E6CE-4098-AC5D-2B80B975106F}" Name="topic" HelpContextID="0" VersionCompatible32="393222000" CMG="3230C818FE1CFE1CFE1CFE1C"ЎЄ`п?Э╗B├Reports    `п?Э╗B├`п?Э╗B├ijфMSysDbЎЄPropData     Forms     `п?Э╗B├ЎЄ                                                                                                                       Root Entry         ╫HЭ╗B├ └ ЎЄ'()*+,-./0123456■                                                                                                                                                                                ЎЄ         ■   ■   ■   ■   ■    ■    !"#$%&ЎЄ $*0i\ansicpg1252\deff0{\f000-00AA006D2EA4}#2.1#0#C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado21.tlb#Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library'ЎЄ0020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}#2.0#0#C:\WINDOWS\System32\stdole2.tlb#OLE Automation*\G{00000201-0000-0010-8&ЎЄ00AA003F0F07}#9.0#0#C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\MSACC.OLB#Microsoft Access 10.0 Object Library╝*\G{0%ЎЄ}#4.0#9#C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\MICROS~1\VBA\VBA6\VBE6.DLL#Visual Basic For Applications*\G{4AFFC9A0-5F99-101B-AF4E-$ЎЄal Basic for ApplicВ_s Extensibilpity └└+АЭ┬е╓Вost Extender Info] &H00000001={3832D640-CF90-11CF-8E43-00A0C91╠am   ф·*\G{000204EF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046#ЎЄ                        su"ЎЄ                         !ЎЄПАDEB1D10-8DAA006D2EA 4D1DProgram Files\CommonГM\ado\msА21ВNMicrosoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 АLibraryАHГГ\VBIDEГ\аVBIА\EА\╖нАД\2E1D57Е\00-б5 .3^.З(Shar@ed\VBA┴6E6EXT.OLB#G Vidir ЎЄ $earth.

He will give you the Holy Spirit to live in you, and seal you for His own; He will give you a new heart, and He will put a new spirit within you. Are you troubled or beset with a strange bent to evil? Do not fear: there is no evil spirit that Jesus cannot cast out, there is no disease of soul that He cannot heal. Do you feel doubts and fears? Throw them aside: "Come to Me," He says; "whoever comes to me I will never drive away." He knows very well the heart of a young man. He knows your trials and your temptations, your difficulties and your foes. In the days of His flesh He was like you--a young man at Nazareth. He knows by experience a young man's mind. He can understand the feeling of your temptations--because He Himself suffered when He was tempted. Surely you will be without excuse if you turn away from such a Savior and Friend as this.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Hear the request I make of you this day: if you love life, seek to become acquainted with Jesus Christ.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\b\i\fs28 3) Never forget that nothing is so important as your soul. \cf0\b0\i0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Your soul is eternal.

"The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare" (\cf2\ul 2Pe_3:10\cf1\ulnone ). The works of statesmen, writers, painters, architects, are all short lived: your soul will outlive them all. The angel's voice shall proclaim one day, that "There will be no more delay!"

All that we need to know, in order to make us peaceful, holy, or happy, is richly contained there.

Texts will rise up in your heart in the moment of temptation. Commands will suggest themselves in times of doubt. Promises will come across your thoughts in the time of discouragement. And thus you will experience the truth of David's words, "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you" (\cf2\ul Psa_119:11\cf1\ulnone ); and of Solomon's words, "When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you" (\cf2\ul Pro_6:22\cf1\ulnone ). \cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 I dwell on these things more because this is an age of reading. There seems no end to the producing of many books, though few of them are really profitable. There seems a rage for cheap printing and publishing. Newspapers of every sort abound, and the tone of some which have the widest circulation speaks badly for the taste of the age. Amidst the flood of dangerous reading, I plead for my Master's book, I call upon you not to forget the book of the soul. Do not let newspapers, novels, and romances be read, while the prophets and Apostles be despised. Do not let the exciting and sensual swallow up your attention while the edifying and the sanctifying can find no place in your mind.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, give the Bible the honor due to it every day you live. Whatever you read, read that first. And beware of bad books: there are plenty in this day. Take heed what you read. I suspect there is more harm done to souls in this way than most people have an idea is possible. Value all books in proportion as they are agreeable to Scripture. Those that are nearest to it are the best, and those that are farthest from it, and most contrary to it, the worst.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\b\i\fs28 6) Never make an intimate friend of anyone who is not a friend of God.\cf0\b0\i0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Understand me, I do not speak of acquaintances.

These things are all very well in their way, but they are not everything. Never be satisfied with the friendship of any one who will not be useful to your soul.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Believe me, the importance of this advice cannot be overrated. There is no telling the harm that is done by associating with godless companions and friends. The devil has few better helps in ruining a man's soul. Grant him this help, and he cares little for all the armor with which you may be armed against him. Good education, early habits of morality, sermons, books: all, he knows well, will avail you little, if you will only cling to ungodly friends. You may resist many open temptations, refuse many plain snares; but once take up a bad companion, and he is content. That awful chapter which describes Amnon's wicked conduct about Tamar, almost begins with these words, "Now Amnon had a friend, a very shrewd man" (\cf2\ul 2Sa_13:3\cf1\ulnone ).\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 You must remember, we are all creatures of imitation: precept may teach us, but it is example that draws us. There is that in ╠{Ўqьgт to take these things to heart. Before you let anyone become your constant companion, before you get into the habit of telling him everything, and going to him with all your troubles and all your pleasures--before you do this, just think of what I have been saying: ask yourself, "Will this be a useful friendship to me or not?"\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 "Bad company" does indeed "corrupt good character" (\cf2\ul 1Co_15:33\cf1\ulnone ). I wish that text were written in the hearts of all young men. Good friends are among our greatest blessings; they may keep us away from much evil, remind us of our course, speak an appropriate word at the right time, draw us upward, and draw us on. But a bad friend is a burden, a weight continually dragging us down, and chaining us to earth. Keep company with an unsaved man, and it is more than probable you will in the end become like him. That is the general consequence of all such friendships. The good go down to the bad, and the bad do not come up to the good. The world's proverb is only too correct: "Clothes and company tell true tales about character." "Show me who a man lives with and I will show you what he is."\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 I dwell upon this point, because it ha ?°                    ]' @А @АА$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$Рhole batch of dough" (\cf2\ul 1Co_5:6\cf1\ulnone ).\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Many a young man could tell you, with sorrow and shame, that he traces the ruin of all his worldly prospects to the point I speak of--to giving way to sin in its beginnings. He began habits of deception and dishonesty in little things, and they grew on him. Step by step he has gone on from bad to worse till he has done things that at one time he would have thought impossible till at last he has lost his standing, lost his character, lost his peace, and almost lost his soul. He allowed a gap in the wall of his conscience, because it seemed a little one, and once allowed, that gap grew larger every day till in time the whole wall seemed to come down.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Remember this especially in matters of truth and honesty. Be careful in even the least syllable spoken. "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much" (\cf2\ul Luk_16:10\cf1\ulnone ). Whatever the world may like to think, there are no little sins. All great buildings are made up of little parts--the first stone is as important as any other. All habits are formed by a succession of little acts, and the first little act is of mighty consequence. The axe in the fable only begged the trees to let him have one little piece of wood to make a handle, and he would never trouble them any more. He got it, and then he soon cut them all down. The devil only wants to get the wedge of a little allowed sin into your heart, and you will soon be all his own. It is a wise saying of old William Bridge, "There is nothing small between us and God,]' @А @АА$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$А$fear, is only too common. Put up with a few little sins, and you will soon want a few more. Even a heathen [Juvenal] could say, "Who was ever content with only one sin?" If you put up with little sins then your path in life will be worse and worse every year. Jeremy Taylor very clearly described the progress of sin in a man: First it startles him, then it becomes pleasing, then easy, then delightful, then frequent, then habitual, then a way of life! Then the man feels no guilt, then obstinate, then resolves never to repent, and then he is damned.\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 Young men, if you don't want to come to this, remember the rule I give you this day: resolve at once to break off every known sin. \cf0\fs24\par \cf1\b\i\fs28 2) Resolve, by God's help, to shun everything which may prove an occasion of sin.\cf0\b0\i0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 It is an excellent saying of bishop Hall, "He that would be safe from the acts of evil must widely avoid the occasions [for it]." There is an old fable that the butterfly once asked the owl how she should deal with the fire which had singed her wings; and the owl counseled her, in reply, not to even look at its smoke. It is not enough that we determine not to commit sin, we must carefully keep at a distance from all approaches to it. By this test we ought to examine the ways we spend our time--the books that we read, the friends that we visit, the part of society which we interact with. We must not be content with saying, "There is nothing wrong here;" we must go further, and say, "Is there anything here which may cause me to sin?"\cf0\fs24\par \cf1\fs28 This is one gr'/ё~o`QB╧└▒в/ єАqbяр╤┬O@1"паСВsёт╙`QB3└▒в/ ЮПleComments((  do advis T█ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o       █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o     ■  ■█ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o  ■ А А █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o    ■  ■█ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o  ■ ■ А   А   А  █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o А   А   А   А  █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o А   А   А   А  █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o А        █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o  ■ А   А   А  █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o А   А   А   А  █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o А    А   А   А  █ЗУ БOл8▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jKr╠vфwl▒r▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#jK▀V#o А   ·LVAL:╧Ю|B╧└▒в/ єАqbяр╤┬O@1"паСВsёт╙othing is of itself so wicked; it is the opportunity it affords to evil and empty thoughts, it is the wide door it opens for Satan to throw in the seeds of bad things--it is this which is mainly to be feared.

El buen deseo de testificar de las\i0 \i verdades del Evangelio, la misma piedad o el fervor religioso, con ser virtudes\i0 \i indispensables para la predicaci\'f3n eficaz, no son suficientes. Es necesario presentar las\i0 \i verdades evang\'e9licas, sobre todo a los nuevos oyentes, de un modo claro y l\'f3gico, que\i0 \i persuada sin fatigar las mentes. Para ello se necesita orden, disposici\'f3n y clara enunciaci\'f3n\i0 \i de la pl\'e1tica o serm\'f3n.\i0 \i Es cierto que el Esp\'edritu Santo ha usado a veces para realizar su obra de salvaci\'f3n\i0 \i sermones muy deficientes, carentes de l\'f3gica y d\'e9biles en argumentaci\'f3n. Tal es el caso del\i0 \i sencillo serm\'f3n que gan\'f3 al que despu\'e9s fue famoso predicador Spurgeon. Pero \'e9stos son\i0 \i casos excepcionales, en los cuales Dios ha querido llenar por una manifestaci\'f3n especial de\i0 \i su gracia lo que faltaba al instrumento humano: Tales ejemplos no son, sin embargo, motivo\i0 \i alguno para menospreciar el arte de la Homil\'e9tica, puesLVAL : la preparaci\'f3n de sermones es un\i0 \i verdadero arte que requiere estudio y adiestramiento, con la particularidad de que, por\i0 \i moverse en la m\'e1s alta esfera de la vida humana, merece m\'e1s que cualquier otro arte tal\i0 \i trabajo y esfuerzo.\i0 \i La cuidadosa preparaci\'f3n del serm\'f3n no es, empero, suficiente sin el poder o fuego\i0 \i del Esp\'edritu Santo, que no siempre es el fuego del entusiasmo humano que se expresa con\i0 \i en\'e9rgicos gestos y grandes gritos, sino aquella unci\'f3n de lo Alto que da al serm\'f3n ese algo\i0 \i inexplicable que no se adquiere por medios humanos pero lleva a los corazones de los\i0 \i oyentes la impresi\'f3n de que el mensaje es de Dios, porque es Dios mismo revel\'e1ndose al\i0 \i coraz\'f3n del que escucha la Palabra. Si ambas cosas vienen unidas en el serm\'f3n, el\i0 \i predicador no podr\'e1 menos que ver de su siembra espiritual abundantes frutos para vida\i0 \i eterna.\i0 \i Hay que evitar ambos extremos. El predicador que descuida la preparaci\'f3n de\i0 \i sermones, confiando imprudentemente en la inspiraci\'f3n divina, se encontrar\'e1\i0 \i frecuentemente con que no tendr\'e1 mensaje alguno para dar, y tendr\'e1 que sustituir\i0 \i r\'e1pidamente la falta de inspiraci\'f3n por una charla sin sentido que cansar\'e1 a sus oyentes,\i0 \i pues el Esp\'edritu Santo no suele otorgar premio a la holganza. Y el predicador que s\'f3lo conf\'eda\i0 \i en su arte y en sus cuartillas bien escritas, puede hallarse falto de la unci\'f3n santa y\i0 \i descubrir con sorpresa que su palabra no llega a los corazones.\i0 \i Por esto el autor, desde los d\'edas de su llamamiento al Ministerio hace 38 a\'f1os, ha\i0 \i sentido la falta de un buen Manual de Homil\'e9tica en lengua espa\'f1ola, y m\'e1s de una vez\i0 \i hablando con otros pastores ha expresado su extra\'f1eza de que alguien bien capacitado para\i0 \i la tarea no lo haya dado a luz durante todLVAL ;o este tiempo.\i0 \i No podemos menos que recordar el af\'e1n con que devor\'e1bamos el brev\'edsimo librito\i0 Ayuda del predicador, \i del Dr. Enrique Lund, y m\'e1s tarde en la Revista Homil\'e9tica la secci\'f3n\i0 \i\'abConsejos\'bb, del mismo tutor, en aquellos d\'edas de nuestra adolescencia, cuando todav\'eda no\i0 \i ten\'edamos acceso a la literatura escrita en lengua extranjera.\i0 \i M\'e1s tarde, vimos con gozo la publicaci\'f3n del libro \i0 Tratado sobre la predicaci\'f3n, \i del\i0 \i Dr. Broadus. Pero la mejor obra escrita para un ambiente extranjero no responde plenamente a las necesidades del predicador de habla hispana; sobre todo para el que no ha\i0 \i tenido el privilegio de pisar las aulas de un Seminario o Colegio B\'edblico. A la obra de\i0 \i Broadus, con ser interesant\'edsima como exposici\'f3n te\'f3rica, le faltan ejemplos pr\'e1cticos,\i0 \i bosquejos, con los cuales el profesor en el Seminario suele demostrar a los alumnos sobre la\i0 \i pizarra la aplicaci\'f3n pr\'e1ctica de los principios y reglas del libro de texto. Lo propio se\i0 \i puede decir de otros vol\'famenes que tratan de la predicaci\'f3n.\i0 \i Tenemos que rendir un tributo de reconocimiento y aprecio a la labor del misionero\i0 \i D. Nicol\'e1s Bengston, que fue el primer profesor que inici\'f3 al autor en los estudios de\i0 \i Homil\'e9tica. Varias de las reglas y bosquejos que aparecen en el presente libro fueron\i0 \i aprendidos de sus labios en el Seminario Bautista de Barcelona.\i0 \i Asimismo el reverendo pastor D. Ambrosio Celma, que inici\'f3 al autor en la\i0 \i Homil\'e9tica de Vinet, y los consejos pr\'e1cticos de Spurgeon. De todos ellos podemos decir que,\i0 \i\'abdifuntos, a\'fan hablan\'bb.\i0 \i El pastor sudamericano M. E. Mart\'ednez ha sido, despu\'e9s del Dr. Lund, el primero que\i0 \i ha publicado reglas de Homil\'e9tica acompa\'f1adas de ejemplos pr\'e1cticos, en la introducci\'f3n\i0 \i de su libro \i0 Luces para predЮLVALк╖ber explicado la primera parte del texto que dice: \'abMi carne y mi coraz\'f3n desfallecen, para terminar con el cl\'edmax optimista \'abMi porci\'f3n esicadores; \i pero es muy poca la Homil\'e9tica que puede darse en 18\i0 \i p\'e1ginas que emplea para tal ense\'f1anza.\i0 \i No faltan en castellano vol\'famenes de bosquejos y sermones de buenos autores, aunque no\i0 \i tantos como quisi\'e9ramos ver traducidos a nuestra lengua; sin embargo, creemos que es m\'e1s\i0 \i importante para el predicador novel aprender a preparar \'e9l mismo sus bosquejos que\i0 \i tenerlos en abundancia de otros predicadores. Un bosquejo propio se predica con mayor\i0 \i fuerza y claridad que el serm\'f3n ajeno, a menos que el predicador sepa adaptarlo y\i0 \i desarrollarlo muy bien, visti\'e9ndolo con su propio lenguaje e ideas.\i0 \i Por esto creemos ser\'e1 de verdadera utilidad la presente obra y que tendr\'e1 amplia\i0 \i acogida, a juzgar por la que ha tenido la revista de car\'e1cter homil\'e9tico \i0 El Cristiano Espa\'f1ol, \i en cuyas p\'e1ginas han visto ya la luz algunos cap\'edtulos, la cual cuenta con un n\'famero muy\i0 \i considerable de suscriptores en varias rep\'fablicas de Sudam\'e9rica adem\'e1s de los de Espa\'f1a.\i0 \i Si con la publicaci\'f3n de este modesto volumen de Homil\'e9tica podemos ayudar a los\i0 \i creyentes que sienten la vocaci\'f3n de anunciar el Evangelio, y mediante estas instrucciones\i0 \i dadas a los predicadores algunas almas pueden comprender m\'e1s f\'e1cilmente el mensaje de\i0 \i salvaci\'f3n, no dar\'e1 el autor por vano este trabajo realizado con gran esfuerzo en medio de\i0 \i muchas otras abrumadoras tareas. Sirva ello de disculpa a las deficiencias que el libro\i0 \i pueda tener y de est\'edmulo a otros compa\'f1eros en el Ministerio de la predicaci\'f3n y ense\'f1anza\i0 \i para producir alguna obra similar, m\'e1s amplia y completa.\par \pard\i0 Samuel Vila Tarrasa (Barcelona), junio de 1954\par \cf0 \par } LVAL ={\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang3082\deflangfe3082\deftab708{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fprq2\fcharset0 Times New Roman;}} {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;} {\*\generator Riched20 5.40.11.2210;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\nowidctlpar\li820\sb56\sl-280\slmult0\cf1\i\f0\fs24 La necesidad de un libro de Homil\'e9tica pr\'e1ctica a que alud\'edamos en la Introducci\'f3n a la 1.\up10\fs16 a\up0\fs24 edici\'f3n de este Manual, se ha visto confirmada con el notable \'e9xito de venta del mismo.

Otros predicadores dicen su texto y predican sin orden pensamientos m\'e1s o menos buenos, pero que por lo general no tienen mucha relaci\'f3n con su texto. Cuando el predicador se ve perdido, regresa al texto, lo repite y vuelve a lanzarse al mar de su palabrer\'eda, en otra direcci\'f3n muy diferente que la primera vez, usando como excusa de su nueva disertaci\'f3n alguna otra palabra del mismo texto, pero el oyente que piensa l\'f3gicamente no puede ver ninguna relaci\'f3n ni conexi\'f3n entre esta segunda parte del serm\'f3n y la primera. Las congregaciones sometidas a la tortura de esta clase de sermones nunca tienen una idea clara de lo que se propone decirles el predicador y les es muy dif\'edcil recordar otra cosa que sus frases sueltas del serm\'f3n.\par c) Como verdadero texto y fundamento del serm\'f3n.

Antes de proceder a la preparaci\'f3n de un serm\'f3n, todo predicador debe responderse esta sencilla pregunta: \'bfDe qu\'e9 voy a hablar? Mientras el predicador no pueda contestar claramente tal pregunta, no debe seguir adelante. Ha de tener un tema y debe saber con precisi\'f3n cu\'e1l es. S\'f3lo puede estar seguro de que lo sabe cuando pueda expresarlo en palabras. Si el tema est\'e1 entre la bruma, tambi\'e9n lo estar\'e1 todo lo que le pertenece: su introducci\'f3n, su arreglo, su prueba y su objeto. El tema debe ser la expresi\'f3n exacta del asunto, o la respuesta a la pregunta: \'bfDe qu\'e9 voy a hablar? Nunca debe escogerse un tema por ser bonito o sonoro como fase, sino que ha de expresar claramente el objeto que el serm\'f3n persigue. Todo predicador, para preparar bien su serm\'f3n, debe responder a la pregunta: \'bfPor qu\'e9 voy a hablar de este tema? \'bfQu\'e9 fin deseo lograr? El tema no s\'f3lo ha de abarcar o incluir lo que se va a decir, sino que ha de excluir todo lo que no tenga que ver con el asunto. En toda preparaci\'f3n para el p\'fablico, las primeras palabras que se escriban deben ser la expresi\'f3n exacta del tema, o sea, la respuesta a la pregunta: \'bfDe qu\'e9 voy a hablar?\par \b COMO ENCONTRAR UN TEMA\b0\par El mensaje debe venir como una inspiraci\'f3n especial de Dios, y el predicador debe estar pidiendo mensajes a Dios para sus oyentes. Pero no es de esperar que venga siempre como una inspiraci\'f3n prof\'e9tica, sino que \'e9l mismo debe afanarse LVAL @en buscarlos de diversas maneras. Spurgeon dice: \'abConfieso que me siento muchas veces, hora tras hora, pidiendo a Dios un asunto, y esper\'e1ndolo, y que esto es la parte principal de mi estudio. He empleado mucho tiempo y trabajo pensando sobre t\'f3picos, rumiando puntos doctrinales, haciendo esqueletos de sermones, y despu\'e9s sepultando todos sus huesos en las catacumbas del olvido, continuando mi navegaci\'f3n a grandes distancias sobre aguas tempestuosas hasta ver las luces de un faro para poder dirigirme al puerto suspirado. Yo creo que casi todos los s\'e1bados formo suficientes esqueletos de sermones para abastecerme por un mes, si pudiera hacer uso de ellos; pero no me atrevo, ni suelo hacerlo. Naturalmente, porque no da lugar a ello el hallazgo de otros mejores.\'bb El predicador puede recibir la inspiraci\'f3n de un mensaje:\par \fs22 \b\fs24 a) Reflexionando sobre las necesidades espirituales de sus oyentes.\b0\par \fs22 \fs24 Debemos advertir al predicador novel acerca del peligro de sermones particulares dirigidos a una familia o a un individuo de la iglesia. Si tiene algo que decir a un individuo, d\'edgaselo particularmente, pero no desde el pulpito, que es la c\'e1tedra de toda la Iglesia, y no debe sacrificarla a las conveniencias particulares de unos pocos. Adem\'e1s, se expone a que sus insinuaciones sean comprendidas por otros hermanos, como dirigidas a aqu\'e9lla u otra persona y ello producir\'eda murmuraciones, o podr\'eda ocurrir que la misma persona comprendiera\f2\fs12 \f1\fs24 demasiado bien el mensaje y se ofendiera con raz\'f3n por la falta de tacto del predicador.
