Christ's Words, and not Our Own Judgment, are Our Law
Luke 5:5
And Simon answering said to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing…


"Sir," said the Duke of Wellington to an officer who urged the impossibility of executing the directions he had received, "I did not ask your opinion; I gave you my orders, and I expect to have them obeyed." Such should be the obedience of every follower of Jesus Christ. The words which He has spoken are our law, not our judgment or fancies.
