One day a lady criticized D. L. Moody for his methods of evangelism in attempting to win people to the Lord.Moody's reply was "I agree with you. I don't like the way I do it either. Tell me, how do you do it?"The lady replied, "I don't do it."Moody responded "I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it."
'If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself."-Augustine.
Christian Quotation of the DayNovember 28, 2004There is in St. Paul's definite, soul-stirring assertion of the wrath of God and the reality of the judgment at hand, a truth more profound than any that underlies our somewhat enfeebled ideas of universal benevolence and the determined progress of the race. There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others. ... Roland Allen (1869-1947), Missionary Methods: St. Paul's or ours? [1927]________________________________Meditation: What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? -- 1 Corinthians 10:19-22 (KJV)http://www.cqod.com/
