A young fellow told me the other day that he believed in the glorious doctrine that Jesus died for a people, not to get a people, but for a people who are already given to Him of the Father (John 6:37, 65). But he said, If I preached that in my church, it would tear my church into pieces. I said, Yes, it will tear your church into pieces, and I further said, Young man, I am sick and tired of hearing two-bit preachers call an institution that Jesus gave His blood to purchase theirs; it isnt your Church, son, it belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. And there isnt any truth in the Bible that will split Gods Church. There is not a truth in the Bible that will split a church that was given to the Lord Jesus Christ by the Father. Now I want to be charitable, but we must stand for truth! Rolfe Barnard 1904-1969
