The One Thing Needful to Make Poor Sinners Rich—and Miserable Sinners Happy
By William Mason, August 9, 1773
In this work, Mason looks at various different aspects of “putting on Christ”; Who are exhorted, what is implied, putting on Christ in our minds, in our memory, in our conscience, why we should, when we should, and the blessed effects of putting on the mind of Christ.
“Christ is all!” Colossians 3:2
“Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.” Romans 13:14

pc06 Suicide or something worse? We look at the causes of depression leading into suicide, and help from God and the Bible.
Excerpts: In Mark 5.2-5 there is a demon possessed person who day and night “cut himself with rocks.” In Matthew 17:15 we also see another demon working which seeks to force the person to commit suicide. The desire to harm yourself is a force of darkness, not from God. But the solution then is only found in God, in His love for you, and in His salvation. We should cast our cares upon Him, “for he careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7). By building a strong relationship with God we can get out of our problems. God will also give us strength and endurance through our problems. The only place of true happiness and joy is when one is in the will of God.
