A Live Christian

Pacific Press Publishing Company · Oakland, California · Dec 19, 1892

A LIVE Christian is an active Christian, a working Christian. Life demands action; it is action. Action, growth, doing, is the normal condition of life. It costs greater effort to refrain from doing than to do. What is true of the individual Christian is true of the church. On the other hand, prolonged idleness, abnormal inaction, is sure to breed disease and death in the spiritual man as in the physical.

Labor is life; 'tis the still water faileth; Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth.

Let faith grasp the life of God in Christ Jesus; let that life work for God.
