Fussy Little Christians

[121 words]

Dr. Vance Havner has aptly described the present generation of Christians thus: “We are a generation of proud, fussy little Christians, experts but not examples. We know too much, or we think we do. We have heard all the preachers and read all the books. It is hard these days to be converted and become like little children. We want to be thought of as philosophers and scholars, brilliant but not childlike. So we miss the secrets God has hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes. How often, even among the saints, does some simple soul learn the deeper things of God and press through to heaven’s best while ‘the wise and the prudent’ utterly miss them!”
