Intelligent Piety
1 Corinthians 14:16-19
Else when you shall bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupies the room of the unlearned say Amen at your giving of thanks…


I. SEEKS — not to astonish, but teach.

II. ACCOMPLISHES ITS OBJECT — not by learned disquisitions, but by making truth easy by means of a few and plain words.

III. FINDS GREATER SATISFACTION — in the profit of others, than in self display.

(J. Orton.)
