Author: Donald Cantrell
Text: Psalms 39:4
New Years Sermon
Psa 39:4 KJV - LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].
I - The Consideration & Appreciation of One's Time (4a)
II - The Conservation & Administration of One's Time (4b)
III - The Consternation & Agitation of One's Time (4c)
