Episode 166 - The Value of Obedience

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.A number of years ago a preacher went to the Champness Hall in Yorkshire, England, to hear Sir John Barbirolli lead the symphony. A friend sitting nearby looked out at the vast crowd in the great hall and asked the preacher, “When will we see the Champness Hall filled to capacity for a Christian service?” The pastor pointed to the members of the orchestra playing on the stage and said, “When we see eighty men willing to give absolute obedience to the will of Christ as these give to Barbirolli.”One of the most effective temptations Satan uses against Christians who want to do what is right is to try to get them to go their own way rather than obeying God. The Lord is not looking for people to go their own way, but to go His way. Unless we are yielded to the commands of God, we cannot truly say that we are following Jesus.
