For what accords better and more aptly with faith than to acknowledge ourselves divested of all virtue that we may be clothed by God, devoid of all goodness that we may be filled by Him, the slaves of sin that he may give us freedom, blind that he may enlighten, lame that he may cure, and feeble that he may sustain us; to strip ourselves of all ground of glorying that he alone may shine forth glorious, and we be glorified in him?

Have we ever passed a night praying because of our great burden for the lost?
Have we ever passed a similar night burdened because there are places on the earth where God is not esteemed and worshipped as God? (Most do not even understand this question). Men's lostness is important but it is secondary to God's glory! When we understand the first, we will have no problem with the second.
Hey! Is that you, Paul Washer? ;o)
Sorry, I'm not Paul Washer but I have listened to him so often that I actually have some of his sermons memorized. If I plagiarize Washer......that would be a good thing! He is a rare preacher today. I'm just a big dummy that happens to be a Christian!!
I doubt you're a dummy! Sounds like you're pretty smart!
