Tonight we continue a supplemental study of the Puritan John Whitlock's sermons through Psalm 18:23 in the book, "The Great Duty of Keeping Ourselves from Iniquity," recently reprinted by Dr. Don Kistler (of our own RPCGA) and his Northampton Press. We study chapters 4 and 5. Ch. 4, "What is Meant from Keeping Yourself from Iniquity": 1) Negatively, it is not as never to commit or relapse (the best of saints can't say that); 2) Affirmatively, it is 1. it is to break off from the practice of those sins they are most inclined to; 2. it has a bent and bias of the soul being set peculiarly against its special sins; 3. when overtaken and foiled by his iniquity, eh mourns and grieves for it with true evangelical, godly sorrow, and speedily renews the actins of his repentance and faith; and 4. it is to watch against these sins in a special manner. Ch. 5, "The Reasons of the Doctrine": 1) they are those that most dishonour God; 2) to keep from such corruptions is special fruit of true evangelical sorrow and repentance; 3) keeping from such will evidence the power of King Jesus over these master-sins and lordly lusts; and 4) this will be an evidence of the truth and strength of our love to God and Jesus Christ when we will deny them nothing.
