THE SILENT PULPIT

THE SILENT PULPIT is a column written for To Face West Ministries by Harmon L.
Taylor with the purpose of addressing topics that are addressed seldom, if at all, in
the popular “Christian” activity of our day.

For there is no distinction between [Judean] and Greek; for He Himself is Lord
of all, enriching all who call upon Him; for WHOEVER CALLS ON THE LORD SHALL
BE SAVED.

But how can they call upon [W]hom they have not believed? And how can they
believe about what they have not heard? And how can they hear without a
preacher? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
HOW BEAUTIFUL THE FEET WHO PROCLAIM PEACE,
WHO PREACH THE GOOD NEWS.
Yet all will not believe the good news. For Isaiah says:
LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?
Therefore, the faith comes from a report: but the report through the
arrangement of God.

Romans 10:12-17 (Ferrar Fenton).
