"Have you been born again? Are you a Christian?" So asked a preacher of a young man who had come time after time to the meetings.
"Well, yes, I am, but I don't always live like one. I need a fixing solution," was his reply.
He needed decision. And many are in a similar condition.
They are disciples, but secretly for fear. They do not like to be thought "strange" and so they do not take their place definitely on Christ's side. They do not confess Him openly as their Lord.
And thus it is that they lose the joy and blessedness which belongs to those who are out and out for Christ.
