The Redemption of Time
Bishop Horne. Ephesians 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. I. WHY TIME SHOULD BE REDEEMED. 1. It is the most choice and precious thing in the world. 2. When once passed, it never returns. 3. It must be one day accounted for. 4. The shortness and uncertainty of human life. 5. Because of the work we have to do, and the difficulty of doing it. 6. Because we have already lost so large a proportion of the time allowed us. II. HOW IT MAY BE REDEEMED. 1. Observe a method in the distribution of your time. 2. Be moderate in your recreations. 3. Cut off, as much as may he, unnecessary visits. 4. Examine, every evening, how you have spent the day. (Bishop Horne.) Parallel Verses KJV: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
