Affections to the Person of Christ

Worldliness and earthly-mindedness have blinded the minds and hardened the hearts of Christians nowadays to an extent very few have any idea of. There are, I am persuaded, very few cases touching upon the safety and well-being of the Church of God which can be left to be judged by the mass of believers. On whom can one cast one's burden of responsibility as to the spirituality of the saints walk and conduct. In cases innumerable which have occurred I have found that the affections to the Person of Christ have not been lively enough to make Christians indignant at open insults put upon Him; and they have had neither the heart nor the mind to stand apart from that which was the expression of indifferentism to Him.
