Any intelligent person always thoroughly studies the instructions to a valuable machine before they even touch it or attempt to operate it!--And as a result, they save themselves a lot of time and trouble and possible permanent damage to their equipment as well. But those who are too impatient to read the book first or think they already know how to operate it, or don't want to confess that they need the help of the instruction book, usually have nothing but trouble!
Why struggle through life needlessly when your Creator, your Maker, your Manufacturer, God, has had some men of His write a Maker's Instruction Manual, with definite diagrams and already stated specifications for the complicated business of living and operating your own body, mind and spirit! You could waste an awful lot of time and do an awful lot of damage to yourself and a lot of other people by not taking time to read the Book first, to learn the right way to operate your soul in order to save it for His use without abuse, and finally get it safely to Heaven forever! Don't take chances!--Read and follow the Book!--Amen?
