Let me say a few parting words about the great fight of the soul:
It may be your are straining every nerve to obtain money, or place or power, or pleasure. If that be your case, take care. Your sowing will lead to a crop of bitter disappointment. Unless you mind what you are about, your latter end will be to lie down in sorrow.
Thousands have trodden the path you are pursuing and have awoke too late to find it end in misery and eternal ruin. They have fought hard for wealth, and honour, and office, and promotion, and turned their backs on God, and Christ and the world to come. And what has their end been? Often, far too often, they have found out that their whole life has been a grand mistake.
For your own happiness' sake, resolve this day to join the Lord's side. Shake off your past carelessness and unbelief. Come out from the ways of a thoughtless, unreasonable world. Take up the cross, and become a good soldier of Christ. Fight the good fight of faith, that you may be happy as well as safe.
