How to Maintain Spiritual Warmth

C. Spurgeon.

Acts 28:2

And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain…

Philip Henry's advice to his daughter was: "If you would keep warm in this cold season (January, 1692), take these four directions:

1. Get into the sun. Under his blessed beams there are warmth and comfort.

2. Go near the fire." "Is not My Word like a fire?" How many cheering passages are there!

3. Keep in motion and action — stirring up the grace and gift of God that is in you.

4. Seek Christian communion. How can one be warm alone?

(C. Spurgeon.)
