Bible Note: Bows, you mention three things that most Christians have the ability to do: preach/teach the gospel, elect godly leaders, and pray. This is a noble triad than which I can think of nothing more excellent or more likely to produce good fruit. But how many Christians do all three, or even one, diligently? Aren't we somewhat like the old farmer who refused to attend classes on agriculture, saying that he already knew how to farm a heap better than he was doing but was just too lazy to do it? --Hank |
