Category: Quote of the Day

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.

Nothing is needed more in this sad day than a John the Baptist, a prophetic voice in this pathetic wilderness. There are echoes aplenty in an age of “me-tooism,” and lots of rubber stamps, but few spokesmen for God. It is a thankless task. John the Baptist was not a welcome visitor in Herod’s court. His faithful ministry cost him his head, and his successors will not fare much better. God send us a voice in this wilderness, not an echo!
