Andrew Miller (1810-1883) - The Cost Of Real Christianity

[reposted from years back] Andrew Miller was probably best known for his "Short Papers on Church History"
***
John 6:53,66 'Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you...From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him'

"You may speak of religion in a general way, of preachers, of churches, of missions, of societies for doing good, and still be popular; but speak of the Lord Himself, of His precious blood, of the full assurance of salvation, of oneness with Him in heaven, of separation from the world, and you will greatly reduce the number of your friends." - Andrew Miller

From the first century, to the 1800's, to 2012 2022, as far as the world's opposition to the Lord Jesus Christ goes [and his name is not "yeshua"*], nothing has changed. It has never been the 'many'. It has always been the 'few'. Press on believer.

Unfortunately true, I think, Tom. God bless you and your efforts.

(and his name is not yeshua). Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
