Thought for March 31

[Thought for the Day]

     It is not excitement we wish to create, but deep, earnest
consideration, that those who hear shall do solid work, real, sound, genuine
work that will be enduring as eternity. We hunger not for excitement, for
the sensational; the less we have of this, the better. The calm, earnest
reasoning from the Scriptures is precious and fruitful. Here is the secret
of success, in preaching a living personal Saviour in so simple and earnest
a manner that the people may be able to lay hold by faith of the power of
the Word of life.  Evangelsim, p. 170
