SIX SHORT RULES
FOR YOUNG CHRISTIANS

BY BROWNING NORTH, ESQ.

1. Never neglect daily private prayer; and when you pray, remember that God is present, and that He hears your prayers. (HEBREWS 11:6)

2. Never neglect daily private Bible reading; and when you read, remember that God is speaking to you, and that you are to believe and act upon what He says. I believe all backsliding begins with the neglect of these two rules. (JOHN 5:39)

3. Never let a day pass without trying to do something for Jesus. Every night reflect on what Jesus has done for you, and then ask yourself, "What have I done for Him?" (MATTHEW 5:13-16)

4. If ever you are in doubt as to a thing being right or wrong, go to your room and kneel down and ask God's blessing upon it. (COLOSSIANS 3:17) If you cannot do this, it is wrong. (ROMANS 14:23)

5. Never take your Christianity from other Christians, or argue that, 'because such people do so and so', therefore you may. ( CORINTHIANS 10:12) You are to ask yourself, "How would Christ act in my place?" and strive to follow HIm. (JOHN 10:27)

6. Never believe what you feel if it contradicts God's Word. Ask yourself, "Can what I feel be true, if God's Word is true"? and if both can not be true, believe God and make your own heart the liar. (ROMANS 3:4; 1 JOHN 5:10-11)
