5-9.18 – “Is there a difference between a
congregation and a crowd? I think that clearly there is. Today we see many
churches with large crowds that have been built with flashy advertising,
worship services with strobe lights and fog machines and music that sounds very
much like what the world listens to. I suspect that if men preached to these
crowds the way that Jesus preached then we would see the same results that our
Lord saw; “…many left and followed Him no more.” S. E. Trail
My prayer today is for us to sound forth
a clear Gospel clarion call without all the “special effects.”
Matthew
19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he
went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. KJV
“One night a wife found her husband
standing over their baby's crib. Silently she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his face a mixture
of emotions: disbelief, doubt, skepticism. Touched by this unusual display and
the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes glistening she slipped her arm around
her husband. "A penny for your thoughts," she said. "It's
amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib
like that for only $46.50."
