Sometimes I wonder if people actually write their own stuff or just quote other people....
so after thinking about it... I think I will ...quote Spurgeon:
"For we long to see all religious teaching built upon the solid rock of truth, and not upon the sand of imagination; but, at the same time, our grand object is not the revision of opinions, but the regeneration of natures. We would bring men to Christ, and not to our own peculiar views of Christianity. Our first care must be that the sheep should be gathered to the great Shepherd; there will be time enough afterwards to secure them for our various folds. To make proselytes, is a suitable labour for Pharisees: to beget men unto God, is the honourable aim of ministers of Christ!"
( taken from another blog of someone who didn't write their blog either, but quoted Spurgeon)
The reason I felt compelled to pass along this quote was for the phrase: " We would bring men to Christ, and not to our own peculiar views of Christianity." ( ouch)
I definitely am guilty of doing this and feel the sting of this statement. Thanks Charles for telling it like it is.
