Christian Churches and Churches of Christ; Lutz, Henry Frey, 1868-1926 -- Biography; Restoration movement (Christianity)
The experiences narrated in this chapter have made real to me the
belief that God is in every act of our life. That through his loving
care, "all things work together for good to them that love God." When I
think of how, in his providence, he took me away from the community and
religion of my early neighbors and brought me in a mysterious way to a
religion and people I had never heard of, I am overwhelmed with the
evidence of his hand in it.
To the honest doubter I would say, take courage, my brother, the Lord
will lead you, in his providence, to the way, the truth and the life. I
can testify that he brings the spiritually blind by a way that they
knew not and leads them in paths they have not known. He makes darkness
light before them and crooked things straight, and will not forsake
them if they continue to sincerely seek for light until he has
accomplished his purpose concerning them and brought them to the feet
of Jesus.
To those out of Christ I will say, that I have tasted and seen that the
Lord is good. After having tried both, I have found a hundred times
more real pleasure in than out of Christ. And while I am yet tied to
clay and suffer many things through the weakness of the flesh, so that
I groan within myself and long to be entirely delivered from this
bondage of death, yet I am filled with love, peace, joy and power
through the earnest of the Spirit dwelling in me, and I serve Jesus
patiently, waiting for the hope set before me, even the coming of our
Saviour, when this corruptible, mortal body shall be changed into the
likeness of the glorified body of Jesus, and I shall be with him and
shall be like him. Oh, how this hope fills my being with love and joy
unspeakable! Will you come and accept this salvation? In the Saviour's
name, who died to purchase it for you, we bid you come. _Come while it
is called to-day!_
