Nevertheless

By Editor

"Nevertheless."—Much is made over the defection of Evangelist B. Fay Mills from Presbyterianism to Unitarianism. We were not surprised. At the best he was but a man of flesh, and the Word of God declares that "all flesh is grass." Letting go of God, man is very likely to be "blown about by every wind of doctrine." Christians need not be alarmed. Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, with a quarter thousand of the princes of Israel, or the royal house, or Judas, the treasurer, or Hymanæus and Philetus, and many others, may all prove false to Christ, yet his Word stands. The Rock abides. Men may break their own heads against what God designed should heal their hearts; the only losers are themselves and those so foolish as to forsake the Word and go with them. "Nevertheless [not-the-less] the Word of God standeth sure."
