"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)

Thanks for the posting brother, you are spot on as per usual. On another note, your new camera is awesome, very clear. Is that a new car? ;-]
Yeah, I really like the new camera but with the clarity I am now going to have to work on the lighting. We did get a different car too, I was wondering if anyone would notice. :-)

Doug,
good one! This is such a needed message to get out, there is so much confusion in this regard; esp. amongst "young" theologians, who are prone to be enamored by Karl Barth's view of scripture (while I see some helpful correctives with Barth on scripture [i.e. his emphasis on the scriptures' instrumentality --- like Calvin's view of scripture as "spectacles"], for the most part I find him wanting); and other liberal voices in this regard.
Anyway, wanted to share a book, it's a little older; but very good, it is entitled:
Christ & The Bible by John W. Wenham
His premise is that Jesus' view of scripture needs to be our view; and that Jesus viewed scripture plenary verbally inspired (and thus fully inerrant).
Anyway, great video!
Hey Bobby,
Thanks for the comment and the book recommendation. It sounds like a good one. I will have to check it out.
Doug
