Almost a Christian

By Henry Smith

ALMOST sweet is unsavory; almost hot is lukewarm. Almost a Christian is like Micah, who thought himself religious because he had gotten a priest into his house. Almost a Christian is like Ananias, who brought a part, but left a part behind. Almost a Christian is like Eli's sons, who polled the sacrifices; like the fig-tree which deceived Christ with leaves; like the virgins who carried lamps without oil; like the willing-unwilling son who said he would come, and would not. —Henry Smith.
