Reform? or Reborn?

The one who reforms himself will (if not very careful)
admire the “reformer.” 😦
The one who is reborn knows Christ acted –
he also admires the One who changed him. 🙂

ON THIS DATE
Brainerd wrote in his Journey, “Selfish religion loves Christ for His benefits, but not for Himself.”
He was born 4/20/1718, Haddam, Herford Co., Connecticut, son of Hezekiah Brainerd (died when David was 9) & Dorothy (died when he was 14). He was raised with Bible reading, prayer, Lord’s Day observance, & the classics, Pilgrim’s Progress & A Call to the Unconverted (Baxter).
After attending Yale and being dismissed for a criticism of a teacher there, David began working with Indians. A group living at Crossweeksung, NJ, were responsive to his fervent preaching/praying & on 8/8/1745, Brainerd witnessed the fire of revival falling on their seeking souls. This high point was good, for on 10/9/1747, Brainerd died at Northhampton, in the home of Jonathan Edwards.
