FROM TODAY'S READING...
NOTE: Barlow North (1810-1875) was born into an upperclass English family and lived a self-indulgent life. At age forty-five he suffered a major health scare that led to his making a sincere commitment to Jesus Christ. The rest of his life was dedicated to preaching and evangelism. He was described as the John the Baptist of the great awakening.
The upcoming FTR quotes are from Barlow North's "Six Short Rules For Christians"...
