Put On Thy Strength

“Put on thy strength.” The church does not know how strong it is. It may have wealth, social prestige, the culture of learning, and the glamour of great names and resplendent traditions, but these are not sources of real strength. If depended upon for support, these will surely fail. The strength of Zion has no earthly source. It is divine. Its strength is Christ; and in proportion as he is adored, exalted, followed, and incarnated in the hearts and lives of men, will the church become strong, aggressive, and able to perform the great mission committed unto it. The strength of the church, therefore, lies in the fidelity of each individual member of it to the Head of the church.—Christian Advocate.
