Is it wise to proclaim in so bald, naked, and unqualified a way as many do, that the holiness of converted people is by faith only, and not at all by personal exertion? Is it according to the proportion of God’s Word? I doubt it. That faith in Christ is the root of all holiness…no well-instructed Christian will ever think of denying. But surely the Scriptures teach us that in following holiness the true Christian needs personal exertion and work as well as faith.

Hard To Understand

Bob was in his usual place in the morning - sitting at the table, reading
the paper after breakfast. He came across an article about a beautiful
actress who was about to marry a football player who was known primarily
for his lack of IQ and common knowledge.

He turned to his wife Marlene with a look of question on his face. "I'll
never understand why the biggest jerks get the most attractive wives."

Marlene replied, "Why thank you, dear!"

Call The Vet

Stanford called the vet, "Doctor, you've got to come right over! My pet
pig just ate the TV remote control!"

"I'll be right there."

"Thanks, but what do I do in the meantime?"

The vet said, "Read a magazine."
