“Selfish religion loves Christ for His benefits, but not for Himself.”
David Brainerd, on this date, 2/20/1743, is said to have written the above in his journal. He was, of course, a Colonial area missionary to our American Indians. Brainerd was born 4/20/1718, at Haddam, Connecticut, and passed from this life, 10/9/1747 at Northampton, Massachusetts.
