Have you heard about the country preacher who went to a conference in the city one time? He heard all the preachers talking about lethargy and procrastination. He didn’t really understand what the words meant, but they sounded good.
He went back to his own church the next Sunday and he preached about lethargy and procrastination. When he finished, one of his dear members came up to him and said, “Preacher, I heard you using words I haven’t heard before: lethargy and procrastination. What in the world do those words mean?” He didn’t know himself and he said, “Why, my dear, don’t you know what those words mean? Those are two of our main Baptist doctrines.”
To some of you they really are main doctrines! When we lose our fire, when we become cold and indifferent in our spiritual lives, we spread that kind of spirit everywhere. We want to cool off anybody else who has spiritual fire.
