Bible Note: Dear Biblicalman, I seem to recall a similar anecdote with the great evangelist George Whitfield. Whitfield was walking the docks of Boston when a drunken sailor approached him. "Remember me, George?" he asked, "You saved me five years ago!" Whitfield replied, "I must have saved you. If Christ had saved you, you would not now be drunk." Well, I guess it isn't quite the same sort of anecdote. :-) I do appreciate yours. Lloyd-Jones was a remarkable man. Had you the opportunity of seeing hearing him preach in person? In Him, Doc |
