Standing for Christ
It is true that “in the mouths of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” Yet, if ten million agree on something that is not to be found in the holy scriptures, or contrary to them, their agreement does not make it true or right. Men find security and confirmation in the agreement of others with them. They have little “mutual admiration societies” in which they praise each other, hold others in contempt and believe themselves to be the only ones that are right. This was the way of the Pharisees that Christ publicly rebuked with scathing words. Our praise is to be to Christ Who alone is right, our agreement is to be with Him and His Gospel and our loyalty is to be to Him and His brethren. -preacher Gary Shepard of Sovereign Grace Baptist church located in Jacksonville, North Carolina USA
