YOUNG CHRISTIANS, HINTS FOR
Make the Holy Scriptures [not what you feel or experience] your sole authority for your justification, forgiveness, and hope of glory (Rom. 5:1; 1 John 2:12; Col. 1:27)
Make the Bible your daily companion, and continual prayer your characteristic daily habit (2 Tim. 3:15-17; 1 Thess. 5:17)
Confess Christ at all times, and under all circumstances, by words, behavior, or by silence; do it modestly, yet firmly (Luke 12:8, 9, 11; 2 Tim. 2:12, 13; 1 Pet 3:4)
Do not in public relate your experience – saying how good you are, how devoted, how holy. We are not good judges of our own state (Ex. 34:29; Ps. 66:16; Phil. 3:13-17)
Never go to meetings or join in amusements where you would not like the Lord to find you (Ps. 17:4, 5; 1 Cor. 10:31; Titus 2:11-14)
Give up at once for Christ’s sake all habits, all ways, all words unlike the blessed Lord whose Name you bear (1 Pet. 2:11; Eph. 5:1-4; 13-18; 4:22)
Be careful in the selection of your companions, rejecting any who are not distinctly on the Lord’s side (Ps. 1; Acts 4:23; 15:38, 40)
Never ridicule, or make sport or fun of the mistakes of anyone, especially of the Lord’s dear people (Rom. 14; Eph. 4:2, etc.)
Avoid, as you would the plague, all and every form of joking, jesting, and punning of the Word of God; yet ever be cheerful, happy, and bright (Eph. 5:4; Ps. 119:22, 63, 103, 133, etc.)
Make it a rule never to read books of periodicals the writers of which do not regard the Bible as fully inspired (John 5:44-47, etc.)
