“ A Warning we need to heed ”
What would we think of a description of a young man who confessed to us,
"I read my Bible more than twice through in less than a year, spent much
time every day in prayer and other secret duties, gave great attention to the word preached, and endeavored to my utmost to retain it. So much concerned
was I about religion, that I agreed with some young persons to meet privately on sabbath evenings for religious exercises, and thought myself sincere in these duties; and after our meeting was ended, I used to repeat the discourses of the day to myself; recollecting what I could, though sometimes very late at night. I had many thoughts of joining the church."
- This is a description of David Brainerd BEFORE he was converted. Is it any wonder the local church is in decay when only half-converted converts are making its every decision? |
