We Must Faithfully Apply the Truth
John 4:16-18
Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.…


A minister was spending a few days in a town, and while there a young man was thrown much in his society. The young man was not a Christian, but learning that the minister intended to preach in the city gaol, asked to be allowed to accompany him. The minister preached to the audience with So much earnestness as to deeply impress the friend who had accompanied him. On their return home the young man said, "The men to whom you preached to-day must have been moved. Such preaching cannot fail to influence." "Friend," answered the minister, "were you influenced?" "You were not preaching to me, but to your convicts," was quickly answered. "I was preaching to you as much as to them. You need the same Saviour as they." The word so faithfully spoken God blessed in bringing this wanderer home to Himself.
