Christian Journal Romans 14:22-23 Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that comdemns not himself in that thing which he allows.… "Better be sure than sorry!" said a garden-worker, when his employer expressed a doubt whether it was necessary to cover a certain vegetation to protect it from frost. "Better be sure than sorry!"A man who is not sure is very likely to be sorry. He who takes things on trust will be quite likely to be cheated and disappointed at last. The business man who treads in uncertain paths, who is not sure of his course, is very likely to be sorry he has taken it. Keep on the safe side. Do not give yourself the benefit of every doubt. Be lenient to others' faults, but strict regarding your own. If there be an act which in your own mind is doubtful or questionable in its character, take the course of wisdom and prudence. It would be a terrible thing to be mistaken in the final day; it is better to be sure here than to be sorry at the judgment-seat of Christ. (Christian Journal.) Parallel Verses KJV: Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. |
