Godly Counsel
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:16).
“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him” (2 Timothy 2:4).
A young Christian man had been nominated for a public office. Before accepting the nomination he wrote to a respected brother in the Lord seeking some godly counsel as to whether he should accept the nomination or not. The reply was simple and straightforward:
“A dead man does not vote, nor does he receive votes.”
