"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)
Present-Day religion far too often soothes the conscience instead of instead of awakening it; and produces a sense of self-satisfaction and eternal safety rather than a sense of our unworthiness.

My desire is not merely to know theology, but to live it. But you can't live it if you don't know it!

Hey Les,
Knowing Matt, I wouldn't think it would be the case there, but it is always good to hear that the Word is still being preached.
I keep Sandals in prayer. Praise God for the work you guys are doing.
Doug
Indeed
