Cotton Mather

Wow, this man walked by faith!

I'm reading a biography of his life and times now. He was sinful, prideful, always worrying about money, his children, witchcraft, the souls he pastored...but he walked by faith. When he erred, and he erred often, he always cried out in faith for the salvation of his soul. I'm convicted just reading short entries from Mather's journals!

I highly recommend reading his journals or biography about this man of God.

What Must I Do to Be Saved? It is impossible to ask a more weighty Question! It is deplorable that we hear it asked with no more Frequency, with nor more Agony.
