Neglect Will Destroy You
Mere neglect is enough to ruin anyone in any situation. A man in business doesn’t need to commit forgery or robbery to ruin himself. All he has to do is neglect his business and his ruin is certain.
Most of the calamities of life are caused by simple neglect. Neglect the education of your children and they will grow up ignorant. Neglect to discipline them, and they will grow up to be disobedient in all areas of life. Neglect a farm and the weeds and briars will soon take over. Neglect a house and it soon goes to decay. Neglect sowing, and a man will have no harvest. Neglect the reaping, and the harvest will rot in the fields. Neglect a marriage and it will soon fall apart.
There is nothing in earthly affairs that will not be ruined if it is not diligently attended to. The same is true concerning the soul. Therefore, a Christian must not neglect reading the Bible, daily. He must not neglect spending time with the Lord in meditation and prayer, and he must not neglect to obey the Lord in all things.
–The Last Days Bible
