NEVER neglect daily, private prayer; and when you pray, remember that God is present and that
He hears your prayers (Heb. 11:6).

NEVER neglect daily, private Bible reading; and when you read, remember that God is speaking
to you, and that you are to believe and act upon what He says. I believe all backsliding begins
with the neglect of these two things (John 5:39).

NEVER let a day pass without trying to do something for the Lord. Every night reflect on what
He has done for you, and then ask yourself, What am I doing for Him? (Mark 5:15-19).

NEVER take your Christianity from Christians, or argue because such-and-such people do so-and-
so that therefore you may (2 Cor. 10:12). You are to ask yourself, How could or would Christ
act in my place? and strive to follow Him (John 10:27).

If ever you are in doubt as to a thing being right or wrong, go to your room, and kneel down and
ask God’s blessing upon it (Col. 3:17). If you cannot do this, it is wrong (Rom. 14:23).
