Short Sermons for a Sunday

Stand Like a Tower.
Be systematically heroic in little unnecessary points. Every day do something for no other reason than its difficulty, so that, if an hour of need should come, it may find you trained to stand the test. The man who has daily inured himself to habits of concentrated attention, energetic will, and self-denial in unnecessary things will stand like a tower when everything rocks around him. — William James.

Sweet Enveloping Thought.
He that finds God a sweet enveloping thought to him never counts his company. When I sit in that presence, who shall dare to come in?—Emerson.

Preach the Truth.
If God had wanted men to prop up truth He would have told them; He only commanded them to preach it.

Kingly Living.
The world will come to the Kingdom through kingly living in the world.
