"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)
As Christians, because we have fallen short, we understand that our character profits us nothing before a holy and just God, but when the Lord illuminates our hearts and minds to understand this, it moves us to humility, compassion, and patience which is an improvement upon our character.

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