Chaff or Wheat? September 28


My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22.

To those who are tempted to indulge in trashy reading I would say, Read your Bible. “Search the scriptures,” Christ commanded; “for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39. Obedience to the Word of God is our only safety.
