The clearer the line of demarcation between us and the world, the better.
The more thorough and entire our devotion to the Lord’s cause and service, the better.

He [Christ] is worthy of all the honor he gets in heaven, and of ten thousand times more than he gets on earth. His father cannot honor him more, for he has given him a name which is above every name, and has passed a decree, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus deserves the hearty, uncomplaining, cheerful service, of all who believe on his name. If our hearts are right with him, we shall not consider his commandments grievous; for love always makes obedience sweet. If our views of Christ are correct and scriptural — we shall esteem it our highest honor to serve him, however menial the employment. Better to be a door-keeper, and stand at the threshold, and watch night after night, for Jesus — than to dwell in a mansion with sinners, or in a palace with those who have no love to his name.
