At 36, [A.B.] Simpson was a Presbyterian preacher so sick that he said, \u201cI feel I could fall into the grave when I have a funeral.\u201d He could not preach for months at a time because of his sickness. He went to a little camp meeting in the woods and heard a quartet sing, \u201cNo man can work like Jesus\/ No man can work like Him.\u201d Simpson went off among the pine trees with that ringing in his heart: \u201cNobody can work like Jesus; nothing is too hard for Jesus. No man can work like Him.\u201d The learned, stiff-necked Presbyterian threw himself down upon the pine needles and said, \u201cIf Jesus Christ is what they said He was in the song, heal me.\u201d The Lord healed him, and he lived to be 76 years old. Simpson founded a society that is now one of the largest evangelical denominations in the world, The Christian and Missionary Alliance. We are his descendants and we sing his songs. But are we going to allow ourselves to listen to that which will modify our faith, practices and beliefs, water down our gospel and dilute the power of the Holy Spirit? I, for one, am not!<\/p>\n
