The Grandest Pursuit and the Greatest Peril
Homilist
Psalm 119:10
With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments.


I. The GRANDEST PURSUIT of man.

1. The object of pursuit — God. Not merely His works, but Himself. Not a mere knowledge of Him, but the possession of Him. To obtain God as the Father of the soul is the grandest end of being.

2. The mode of pursuit. Unless it is done with the whole heart, the concentration of the soul, it is never done.

II. The GREATEST PERIL of man. To wander from God's commandments is to wander from light into darkness, from order into confusion, from plenty into pauperism, from happiness into misery, from life into death.

(Homilist.)
