A Discourse on the Death of Zachary Taylor (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Discourse on the Death of Zachary Taylor

There is a strong natural propensity in the human heart to attempt independence of God. It is practically exhibited, both by individuals and by nations, in the various forms of ignor ing, evading, perverting, and openly transgress ing and defying the Divine Will - in cherish ing a spirit of inordinate self - reliance - and in utter forgetfulness of both the obligation and the safety of trusting solely in God, and of serv ing, glorifying, and enjoying Him.
