Author Description

The wise man wrote in (Proverbs 13:15) that "The way of the Transgressors is hard," but it would almost seem that the Church has this statement reversed and they say "The way of the righteous is hard." I have had ministers tell me that they found it hard to serve the Lord at times. I think this is very sad indeed. One man put it very well when he said "To serve the Lord easy is hard, but to serve the Lord hard is easy." It is very rare in this day to find Christians who are completely sold out to Jesus. John Wesly said "The devil has given the Church a substitute for faith, that looks and sounds so much like faith that people can't tell the difference." He called this substitute "Mental Assent." There are many who assent, by logic, that God's word is true, they agree, with their minds and honor God with their lips. However, it is not assenting with the minds that gets the job done, but it is believing with the heart (Romans 10:10).
