"Resolve for Hardships"

And take the helmet of salvation. Ephesians 6:17.

“Resolve for hardships, or lay down thine arms. Few come at the beat of Christ’s drum to his standard. Many that list by external profession under him, after a while drop away and leave his colours. It is suffering work they are sick of. Many men are more tender of their skin than of their conscience. They had rather the gospel had provided armour to defend their bodies from death and danger, than their souls from sin and Satan.”

- an excerpt from William Gurnal's The Christian in Complete Armour, as quoted by William Mason in A Spiritual Treasury For The Children of God, Volume 2, May 8
