Holding Fast to Great Certainties
By William M. Taylor
The sound religious thinker holds fast by the great certainties which he has verified, and turns them to account by living under their influence. He does "one thing" like Paul, and spends his life in seeking to apprehend that for which he was apprehended of Christ Jesus. His positive convictions give him energy and aggressiveness, and he is effective in the work of his own sanctification and in his efforts for the good of others just in proportion as he holds by the great principles whose truth he has learned from Christ, and keeps himself from disputing about those things concerning which valid conclusions cannot be reached, or if they could, they would be of no practical importance.—Wm. M. Taylor, D. D.
