The time of this world's continuance is short . A believer stands on a watch-tower things present are below his feet things eternal are before his eyes. A little while, brethren, and the day of grace will be over preaching, praying will be done. Soon we shall give over wrestling with an unbelieving world soon the number of believers shall be complete, and the sky open over our heads, and Christ shall come. The believer should learn from this to sit loose to all things under the sun .
Marriage is honourable in all.
Still it must not be idolatry. A married believer should be, in some respects, as if he were unmarried as if he had no wife. Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. They are only a loan from the Lord. Be not surprised if He take His own.
