In St. Louis years ago, a Christian was transacting business with a lawyer. As the Christian businessman turned to go, he said, "I have often wanted to ask you a question, but I have been a coward."
"Why," replied the lawyer, "I did not think you were afraid of anything. What is the question?"
The businessman then asked the lawyer pointblank, "Sir, why are you not a Christian?"
The lawyer hung his head. "Is there not something in the Bible that says no drunkard shall have any part in the Kingdom of God. You know my weakness."
"You have not answered my question," answered the Christian. "I am asking why are you not a Christian."
"Well," answered the lawyer, "I cannot recall that anyone ever asked me such a question before. Of this I am sure-nobody ever told me how to become one." The Christian businessman then read passages from the Bible and suggested simply, "Let's get down and pray."
Kneeling, the lawyer prayed first: "O Lord, you know that I am a slave to drink. This morning this businessman, your servant, has shown me the way to Thee. Oh, God, break the power of this evil habit in my life." Later, the lawyer with the "besetting sin" testified that "God broke that power of drink instantly."
Do you know who that lawyer was? Dr. C. L. Scofield, famous editor of the Scofield Reference Bible!

My dad is a huge fan of Dr. Scofield and has passed out many Scofield Bibles over the years. He may already know this, but I'm sending it to him anyway just in case he didn't know.
