Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; It was an amusing distortion of a good hymn, but there was not a little sound philosophy in it, when the old preacher said —Judge not the Lord by feeble saints.And yet this is precisely what the great majority of unconverted men are doing all the time. They will not go to the Bible and give heed to what God Himself says. They have no ear for His voice of mercy that offers them salvation for the taking. They do not pay any attention to the solemn warnings that the Scriptures utter. They judge the Lord by "feeble saints." They attempt to feed their starving souls on the imperfections of Christians — poor feed enough they find it! Because God's people are not all they ought to be, therefore these cavillers will keep aloof from the religion which they confess. (American.)
