[Manna - July 18]
In the last days perilous times shall come.
Men shall be traitors, heady,...lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. 2 Timothy 3:1,4
THE true Christian is not "heady;" on the contrary,
his consecration to the Lord figuratively decapitated
him.
He lost his head, renounced his own will and
self-rule, and submitted himself as a member of the body of Christ, to the absolute control of Jesus, the
Head....The true Christian, therefore, in every affair
of life,—in respect to its pleasures as well as in
respect to its burdens and trials,—appeals to his
Head for direction, to know how and what to do or
say—yea, to have even the very thoughts of his mind
in full conformity to the will of God in Christ. Z.'99-102 R2461:1
