      Bound to Know Your True Character
      by Charles Finney

      "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves"-- 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5

      IN speaking from this text I design to pursue the following order:

      I. Show what is intended by the requirement in the text.

      II. The necessity of this requirement.

      III. The practicability of the duty enjoined.

      IV. Give some directions as to the manner of performing the duty.

      I. I am to show what is intended by the requirement in the text, "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves."

      Breaking Up the Fallow Ground 


      Breaking Up the Fallow Ground
      By Charles Finney


      Break up your follow ground for it is time to seek the Lord till He come and rain righteousness upon you. Hos. 10:12.

      The Jews were a nation of farmers, and it is therefore a common thing in the scriptures to refer for Illustrations to their occupation, and to the scenes with which farmers and shepherds are familiar. The prophet Hosea addresses them as a nation of backsliders; he reproves them for their idolatry, and threatens them with the judgments of God.
