In our craze for bigness and our obsession for statistics, we have gathered a motley and unwieldy multitude. We have called it mobilization but it has really been mob-ilization. Our Lord was never impressed with the enthusiasm of a crowd. Many believed on His name but He did not trust them ( John 2:23-25). He sobered another throng with three “cannots” (Luke 14:25-33). He preached away another host who wanted to make Him king (john 6). He knew that one day a multitude would greet Him with hosannas and a few days later shout, “Crucify Him!”

Bud Robinson, the well-known Holiness preacher, was taken by friends to New York and shown around the city. That night in his prayers he said, “Lord, I thank You for letting me see all the sights of New York. And I thank You most of all that I didn’t see a thing that I wanted!” Blessed is that man who can sit loose to the charms of this old world, independent of them because he doesn’t want them.
