When you go to market, if you are a sensible person, you do not turn aside from all the good wares and fair merchandise to waste your time and your money over the quack vendor of useless medicine, which he advertises with large pictures and loud talk. Your common sense directs you to seek wholesome food and useful articles, but there are credulous people ready to be caught with any bait. |
So, too, there is no lack of simpletons in all our congregations: good, thoughtless people, lame and limping in all their walk, troubled with skepticism and plagued with curiosity. Unstable as water, they shall not excel. |
ONE MORE REMINDER: PREACH JESUS THIS WEEKEND |
“Leave Christ out of your preaching, and you have taken the milk from the children, you have taken the strong meat from the men; but if your object as a teacher or preacher is to glorify Christ, and to lead men to love him and trust him, why, that is the very work upon which the heart of God himself is set. The Lord and you are pulling together, and God the Holy Spirit can set his seal to a work like that.” — Charles Spurgeon |
