Wisdom From The Classics

Just recently I have been reading through Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyon. The metaphors and illustrations used in his writings are truly amazing. While we dare not place any writings on a par with Scripture, nevertheless, some writing are a result of inspiration from the Lord.

If you have never read Bunyon's writings then I would encourage you to do so. You will find that the struggles that you face are illustrated therein, as well as the importance of remaining steadfast in your faith.

The fact of the matter is that most professed Christians today have a low regard for the warnings of the Bible, and are mostly lead by their feelings and emotions. Please realize how dangerous this is! The way to Heaven is filled with "many dangers, toils and snares", but we will arrive there if we continue on, steadfast in the faith!

As a pilgrim, are you making progress in your pursuit of that eternal prize? The answer to that question is far too important to be taken for granted!

May we have ears to hear that "great cloud of witnesses" encouraging us toward the goal!

God bless
