Woke or Awake?

By Dave Eden, Eden Political Cartoons

“‘Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead.’ There is no other way to do God’s work. A man can talk in his sleep, and he can walk in his sleep. I have preachers that I felt preached in their sleep. But one cannot work in his sleep. He must be quickened and awakened. The Lord found Moses tending sheep. He found Gideon at the threshing floor. Elijah called Elisha while he was plowing. Jesus called Peter while he was fishing. He called Matthew at the receipt of custom. There is no such thing as serving God in lethargic indolence. ‘Awake ye that sleep, and arise from the dead.’”
