There are two things that should characterize the Christian today. John the Baptist expressed it: “He must increase; I must decrease.” And if that’s not happening in your life, my friend, just very candidly, you are not living for Christ. You are not living the Christian life. And I don’t care who you are—you could be a preacher, you could be a Sunday school teacher, you could be a deacon in the church. And the less we see of some of us and the more we see of Christ, it will certainly be better for those that are around us today.
