God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Men would sooner believe that the gospel is from heaven, if they saw more such effects of it upon the hearts and lives of those who profess it. The world is better able to read the nature of religion in a man’s life than in the Bible.
