Sermons, American -- 19th century
Deceivers are going out into the world who would deceive even the very
elect if they could. I believe we are living in dark days. Error is
coming in on all sides, and it is a time when we must maintain the
faith. "I have kept the faith," says Paul. The good old doctrine of
our forefathers, and of the Puritans, is a good deal better than your
new doctrine at the present time, that is just doing away with Christ,
with hell, and even with heaven. Let us cling to the word of God, and
have faith in God.
There was a young man God sent down to Bethel, and told him to
prophesy against it. He was not to eat and drink in the place, nor to
go back by the same way as he went. Down the young man went. The king
asked him to go to his palace, but he refused. No, God had told him to
go and prophesy, not to eat and drink. But there was an old prophet,
and he sent out word to tell him an angel had told him to invite him,
and the young man obeyed the voice of the angel rather than God, and
then he started home another way, and a lion met him and slew him. We
are not to put our faith in this man or that man, not even in a
prophet if it is contrary to the word of God; not to believe the best
man living if it is contrary to the word of God. If God says it, let
us take our stand upon it. God's word will stand when these men and
their names have been swept away and forgotten. There have always been
false teachers, men trying to teach us it does not make any difference
what a man believes if he is only sincere. My friends, let us have
faith in the living God, and then it will be light where it is
darkness now.
HOW TO GET FAITH.
