(Works, V., pp. 165, et seq., condensed.)
So this is the word of the Lord God to you all, feel that you stand in the presence of the Lord God. For every man’s word shall be his burden.
(C. J., I., p. 319.)
VI.
Respecting Persons.
Honour and Glory.
And so as you honour God, with God shall you be honoured. But seek it as eagerly as you will without him it will fly from you. Through flattery you may obtain which will corrupt your judgment and let in upon you everlasting dishonour. Wherefore turn to the Lord with your whole hearts and seek his glory alone.
(C. J., I., p. 134.)
Flattery.
Take heed of being corrupted by flatteries. They that know their God shall be strong.
(Works, VII., p. 18.)
