Are We Preparing for the Latter Rain?– Part IX
In the face of the rash to venerate those considered great men of the earth, the Christian is confronted with the truth that the Holy Scriptures has little to say in praise of men. Such is the propensity to lavish words of honor and glory, influenced by the cascading voices of the majority and the persuasive powers of public-opinion molders, to ascribe in prose and song, words of adoration and even titles that exclusively belong to the Creator and Savior of mankind, to his fellow sinner and mortal.
“Little space [in the Bible] is given to recounting the virtues of even the best men who have ever lived. This silence is not without purpose; it is not without a lesson. All the good qualities that men possess are the gift of God; their good deeds are performed by the grace of God through Christ.
