Men of Unsettled Creed

2 Timothy 1:13

Hold fast the form of sound words, which you have heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

"I shape my creed every week," was the confession of one to me. Whereunto shall I liken such unsettled ones? Are they not like those birds which frequent the Golden Horn, and are to be seen from Constantinople, of which it is to be said that they are always on the wing, and never rest? No one ever saw them alight on the water or on the land; they are for ever poised in mid-air. The natives call them "lost souls," seeking rest and finding none. Assuredly men who have no personal rest in the truth, if they are not unsaved themselves, are, at least, very unlikely to save others.
