Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 153, "Consideration," 1823 March
Description:
Edward Hitchcock's sermon on the deliberate reflection on scripture, based on Psalm 4:2 ("Selah"). Hitchcock noted on the first page the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1823 and 1844 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. For his sermon, Hitchcock proposed to define the Hebrew word "Selah" as a call to attentively consider the truth and importance of every single word of the Bible. He urged that "Selah" be accepted as a personal motto, because the Bible carries divine authority and contains the only terms on which man may reconcile with God and obtain salvation. Each Christian will be held to account for his neglect of God's word.
