Thought for April 29

[Thought for the Day]

     God has a special work for the men of experience to do. They are to
guard the cause of God. They are to see that the work of God is not
committed to men who feel it their privilege to move out on their own
independent judgment, to preach whatever they please, and to be responsible
to no one for their instructions or work. Let this spirit of
self-sufficiency once rule in our midst, and there will be no harmony of
action, no unity of spirit, no safety for the work, and no healthful growth
in the cause. There will be false teachers, evil workers who will, by
insinuating error, draw away souls from the truth. Christ prayed that His
followers might be one as He and the Father were one. Those who desire to
see this prayer answered, should seek to discourage the slightest tendency
to division, and try to keep the spirit of unity and love among brethren.
Evangelism, p. 212, 213
