I am growing more and more aware that all too often we preachers aim at nothing and hit it.
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
Sometimes this going out in obedience to God's command is more dramatic than at other times... sometimes more spectacular... sometimes more brave... but always it is a venture into the unknown.
A man walks on through life - with the external call ringing in his ears but with no response stirring in his heart, and then suddenly, without any warning, the Spirit taps him on the shoulder. What happens? He turns 'round. The word 'repentance' means 'turning 'round.' He repents and believes and is saved.
God will not permit any troubles to come upon us, unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.
I know that no business contract, no order or commercial consideration can ever be worth the happiness of one's home or the peace of one's mind.
