Charles Finney addresses the detrimental effects of prejudice within the church that hinder the revival of religion. He emphasizes that such biases, often fostered by ministers, prevent true communion with God and obstruct the grace necessary for spiritual growth. Finney warns that these prejudices can arise against various subjects, including moral reforms and theological differences, leading to a lack of candidness and charity in judgment. He calls for ministers to avoid inciting prejudices among their congregations to promote genuine revivals of faith. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of thorough and charitable examination in all matters of faith.
