Good Men are not Perfect Men
Galatians 2:11-12
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.…


A gentleman of the Perfectionist school of thought called to see an old Christian of his neighbour. hood, and began enlarging upon that interesting topic. "Can you point to a single perfect man or woman in the Bible?" inquired the aged saint. "Yes," readily answered the other; "turn to Luke 1:6, you will there read of two — Elizabeth and Zacharias walked 'in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord, blameless.'" "Then you consider yourself a believer like Zacharias?" "Certainly I do," said the visitor. "Ah," replied the old man, "I thought you might be; and we read a few verses further on that he was struck dumb for his unbelief."
