Hero or Zero? There's a big difference between HERO WORSHIP and HERO IMMITATION.
If it's immitation, that person really is a hero. If it's worhip, (adulation without immitation) then that person is not a hero but a zero.
Leonard Ravenhill wrote: "Ah! brother preachers, we love the old saints, missionaries, martyrs, reformers: our Luthers, Bunyans, Wesleys, Asburys, etc. We will write their biographies, reverence their memories, frame their epitaphs, and build their cenotaphs. We will do anything except imitate them. We cherish the last drop of their blood, but watch the first drop of our own!
