The Touchstone of Sincerity

A searching practical treatise expositing Revelation 3:17–18, the Lord's rebuke to the Laodicean church. Flavel probes the dangerous self-deception of formal religion — the gap between outward profession and inward grace — with pastoral precision. He enumerates signs of true grace against symptoms of hypocrisy, calling readers to rigorous self-examination before God. Written in a time of political crisis, the work urges sinners to test their hearts while the window of repentance remains open.
