While re-reading Elder Lemuel Potter's ("Primitive" or "Regular" or "Old Baptist") autobiography titled "Labors and Travels of Elder Lemuel Potter" I noticed that he wrote the following in chapter five (See here; emphasis mine):
"I would say to all who have a hope in the Savior, and
have never yet united with the church, you get the most pay for the least service
rendered when you obey the Lord, more than anything else that I ever knew
anything about."
A few months back I wrote three posts under the title "A Guaranteed Bonanza" (See here, here, here). In those posts I affirmed that God has promised a good return on your investment, or a bonanza of blessings, in serving him in his kingdom. I cited from a "Primitive Baptist" elder who seemed to be writing against that first post and took issue with this affirmation. I showed where numerous texts of scripture proved that affirmation. Since many "Primitive Baptists" read this blog, I thought I would put the above citation from one of their most revered apologists as an appendix to those three posts. He agrees with my affirmation.
