Reasons for Lean Christians

THEY own Bibles, but feed on newspapers.
They sing about peace, but do not surrender to get it.
They pray that the kingdom of heaven may come, but block the way by worldly living.
They listen to sermons on unselfishness, but pamper themselves in food and dress.
They wear crosses, but shrink from bearing them.
They praise Christ with their lips, but declare the things he did to be wholly impracticable now.—Selected.
