That makes us a Christian

A chasm is opening between the men who believe their Bibles
and the men who are prepared for an advance upon Scripture.
Inspiration and speculation cannot long abide in peace.
Compromise there can be none.
We cannot hold the inspiration of the Word, and yet reject it;
we cannot believe in the atonement and deny it;
we cannot hold the doctrine of the fall
and yet talk of the evolution of spiritual life from human nature;
we cannot recognize the punishment of the impenitent
and yet indulge the "larger hope."
One way or the other we must go.
Decision is the virtue of the hour.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon

It is not what you eat,
But what you digest
That makes you strong,

Not what we gain,
But what we save
That makes us rich.

Not what we read,
But what we remember
That makes us learned

And not what we profess
But what we practice
That makes us a Christian.

Selah –

Anyone can praise Christ
but it takes a man or woman of courage to follow Him!
