An old preacher said to some who wanted arguments: "Let me tell you a story! Three men were in a boat fishing on Niagara River above the falls. One of them was a believer in Christ; the other two were not. One persistently argued that there is no God. While they were still talking, they discovered that their boat had drifted into the current and they were in danger of going over the falls.
At once they seized their oars and pulled for their lives. It was a desperate struggle for a little. The man who had argued "there is no God" now kept shouting, "Pull, for God's sake; pull!”
When they had reached safety again the Christian said, "Why did you keep saying, ‘For God's sake, pull,' when you do not believe there is a God?”
"Oh," said he, "arguments may do in still water fishing, but not to go over Niagara Falls with!”
When the soul faces death, and knows it has to give an account to God, then it wants something solid to rest upon. What have you, dear reader, with eternity before you? Christ is the true Rock, the one safe resting-place for your soul. Have you found Him? Have you said, "Lead me to the rock that is higher than I"?
"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God."
