I recently read a portion of Baptist preacher John Piggott
(died 1713) on corporation for the gospel. Even though it was preached
and written over 300 years ago, it still lives. Here is a portion of
Piggott’s remarks.
“It is not possible that we should concur exactly in
all the same opinions for one Christian to censure and condemn another merely
because he cannot agree with him in small or indifferent things, is as
unreasonable as for one man to quarrel with the rest of the world, because they
have not his features and complexion.”
At a time when people hop, skip, and jump all over churches
for the most peripheral of reasons, may we heed these words.
