"Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus..." (Col. 1:28)

A pioneer preacher was said to have been preaching on "The Bible can be understood" to a small group who had gathered on the street when an atheist ridiculed him saying, "If the Bible is so easily understood, who don't more people understand it?"

The preacher answered, "If I want to grow turnips, though I might have good seed and the best of soil, I must first grub out the weeds. People can easily understand the Bible, but first one must grub out the denominational errors which have filled hearts. Once this is done, one can plant the good seed and have good results."
