Profession
Matthew 21:17-21
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.…


Our profession without practice is but hypocritical, making us resemble the stony ground which brought forth a green blade, but no fruit to due maturity; like the fig-tree, which, having leaves but no figs, was accursed; like the tree in the garden, which. cumbering the ground with its fruitless presence, was threatened to be cut down; like glow-worms, which have some lustre but no heat — seeing such professors shine with some light of knowledge, but without all warmth of Christian charity.

(Downame.)
