A sister in the Lord went to a great English preacher, called Charles Spurgeon, and asked him:"Is it all right for me to marry an unbeliever"?She went on to explain the reason for her inquiry:"I could bring him to the Lord and another sould could be won to Christ.Would that not be good"?Spurgeon said in response, "All right, let's try something here".There was a table nearby, and so he asked this young sister to climb up and stand on the table.She did not know why he wanted her to do that, but she hearkened to this request and stood on the table.Then Spurgeon stretched out his hand and told her to do the same.So they clasped their hands together while Spurgeon told her:"Now pull".Of course, that sister was unable to pull Spurgeon up onto the table;instead she was pulled down to the floor by the preacher.Then Spurgeon explained as follows:"Now, if you want to marry an unbeliever, that is what will happen.You may think you can pull him up to where you are in the Lord, but you will be pulled down by him to where he is in the world".
