    You can get one if you want one.
    If you can't get a big one, get a little one.
    It is just the decent thing to do.

    Years ago Adrian Rogers made a quote about SBC theology and pickles: Something to the tune of "if Baptists believe that pickles have souls, the professors in our seminaries need to teach that".

    If you are not part of the solution you are, by the nature of things, part of the problem.

    Then you cannot do with out this book that is also online called the Nonsuch Professor written in 1660 by William Secker... If you print it it is 129 pages in length... I printed it!... To cheap to buy the book!... It is worth the effort to put in your favorites and refer to time and time again... The following is the opening page and will be followed by the site location online... Enjoy!... Brother Glen [​IMG]

    THE NONSUCH PROFESSOR

    What do ye more than others?'—MATTHEW v. 47.

    In a mountain the law was propounded to Moses, in a mountain the law was expounded by Jesus; the former to a man of God, the latter by the Son of God: the one to a prophet of the Lord, the other by the Lord of the prophets.

    As the works of Christ were miraculous, so the words of Christ were mysterious; they were such a depth which none could sound but those whom God had furnished with the plummet of an enlightened understanding. Before any one can peruse the Scriptures to profit, the Lamb of God must open the seven seals.

    In this chapter, the soul-justifying Saviour condemns the self-justifying Scribes and Pharisees. Never did men make more boast in the law, but never had men less cause. They knew but little as to the letter, but less of its spirit. They were better acquainted with the customs of nature, than the canons of Scripture. Alas! how shall the blind see when the seers are blind! They who should have put the eyes of others in, had put their own out.

    The righteous laws of God cannot connive at the unrighteous lives of men, they not only require truth without, but within also. The rays of this sun enter the most secret chambers of the heart, therefore he that lusteth after, and he that lieth with a woman are both adulterers. He is a murderer whose heart is full of hatred, though his hands be free from violence. Thus the lusts of men may be predominant, when the lives of men are not inordinate; as guests may be in the house, when they look not out of the windows. He who begins religion where it should end, will end religion where it should be begun.

    But as the suburbs direct to the city, and the portal leads to the palace, so the context will guide us to the text. 'If ye love them that love you, what reward have you? do not the Publicans the same?'

    As an echo returns the voice it receives, so many will shew kindness where kindness is shewn; but shall Publicans be as godly as the Lord's disciples? Shall the sons of men equalize the sons of God? Shall the law of nature swell to so high a tide as the law of grace? This were for the dribbling rivulet to vie with the drowning ocean; this were for royalty to degenerate into beggary; and for the meridian sun to yield no more light than midnight shades.

    'If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?

    I use Uncle Ben's Quotebook (which is at my office and this is Monday and I'm on my day off so I can't get the publisher) but would check it out. Full of pithy statements and categorized for theme. [​IMG] [​IMG] Two thumbs up
