Excerpt from Horae Homileticae, or Discourses (in the Form of Skeletons) Upon the Whole Scriptures, Vol. 4
And as they prefer the society of them that know not God, so they prefer any other book, whether of science or amusement, before the Sacred Volume. They may study the holy Scriptures indeed with a view to head-knowledge; but not with any desire to im bibe the spirit of them in their hearts, or to have their lives con-t formed to them. In this there is an extremely broad line of' distinction between the two characters: to the godly the Scrip tu'res are sweeter than honey, or the honeycomb; but to the ungodly they are insipid, and are either not perused at all, or: studied only for the purpose of exercising a critical acumen.' There is nothing in the Sacred Volume that is suited to their, taste: the wonders of Redemption do not affect their minds; nor are the precepts of the Gospel palatable to their souls.
Would we but candidly examine ourselves by these two marks, we should soon discover to which of these parties we belong.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the lives and fates of the righteous and wicked through a concise examination of Psalm 1. As one of the most well-known of all Psalms, the author provides engaging entry point into the larger themes explored throughout the rest of the text. The book surveys timeless themes of faith, suffering, heavenly reward, and God's ultimate justice, which are as relevant for readers today as they have been throughout history. In traversing the terrain of the righteous versus the wicked, the author makes clear that the two paths one can walk through life could not be more divergent: one leads to God's favor and eternal blessing, while the other ends in everlasting destruction. Ultimately, readers are presented with a stark choice: to either align themselves with the ways of God, or to reject His path and face the horrific consequences.
