Christ-Like Simplicity
Contributed by Sermon Central on Nov 1, 2009 (message contributor)
CHRIST-LIKE SIMPLICITY
Francis de Sales, 17th cent. writer, said that Christ-like simplicity is similar to what we see in little children "who with one hand cling to their father, and with the other gather strawberries or blackberries along the hedges.

(From a sermon by Matthew Barker, Busy-ness, 11/1/2009)
