#shorts Part 15 — Mortify the Enemy
we, according to the Apostle, put to death, as it were, and crucify the old man of corruption, with his vices and sins; that they that are of Christ have crucified their flesh, with its vices and concupiscences, and die to ourselves; that we may put on the new man Jesus Christ, […] no virtue is more necessary for our eternal warfare. […]
[…] no one can be a good Christian, without waging perpetual war against his own sensual inclinations, and diligently taking up the cross of daily mortification.
Richard Challoner, Meditations, August 18 entry
Hello Readers, hope all’s well. Time for another #shorts post.
Today’s quick tidbit once again comes from Richard Challoner’s daily reader, Meditations. The full title being: Considerations Upon Christian Truths and Christian Duties: Digested Into Meditations for Every Day in the Year.
By the way, I want everyone to know Meditations is a book in the public domain- it’s free!! You can read it for free as a PDF (if you want a print copy like I prefer, you have to buy one). Check out the free PDF HERE.
