Have you heard the story of the Irishman who was converted to Christ and whose priest told him that he had no business trying to read the Bible because he was unlearned. The priest said, "I will get the milk from the Word of God and I will bring it to you;" to which the Irishman replied. "I will be much obliged to you, sir, if you bring me the milk of the word; but I intend to keep a cow myself. That way I will be sure that the milk I get is pure."
This is what I want us to do; keep a cow yourself; carry a Bible with you and determine if the milk you receive from the pulpit is pure! You can trust your body to a physician, your finances to a broker, and not suffer too great a loss if they are wrong. But to trust your eternal soul to a priest or a preacher and find in the end that his was "another gospel" is to lose everything eternally.
