This really spoke to me in regards to some of the things in adventism that have seemed "almost right"! Counterfeits don't fool people if they don't closely resemble the real thing in one way or another, ie using the "right, Christian" words, but giving them different meanings.


"Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather, it is telling the difference between right and ALMOST right." Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon truly was one of God's gifts to the church. Thanks, Nowisee. He's exactly right.

To many people play 'horseshoes' with their life where getting close is good enough. Almost alive is still dead.
