A Dwarfed, Sickly Christian

 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house. Malachi 3:10
 
 "Men are tempted to use their means in self-indulgence, in the gratification of appetite, in personal adornment, or in the
embellishment of their homes. 
For these objects many church members do not hesitate to spend freely and even extravagantly. But when asked to give to the Lord's treasury, to carry forward His work in the earth, they demur. 
 
They manifest no real love for Christ's service, no earnest interest in the salvation of souls. 
What marvel that the Christian life of such ones is but a dwarfed, sickly existence!

He whose heart is aglow with the love of Christ will regard it as not only a duty, but a pleasure, to aid in the advancement of the highest, holiest work committed to man --the work of presenting to the world the riches of goodness, mercy, and truth." 
E.G.W.
