“Every Christian who makes progress in holiness is a person who has disciplined his life so that he spends regular time in the Bible. There simply is no other way.” Jerry Bridges

Satan gives Adam an apple, and takes away paradise. Therefore in all temptations let us consider not what he offers, but what we shall lose. —Richard Sibbes, A Puritan Golden Treasury, Pg. 293
"If I have THAT, my life will have meaning. I'll have value and feel significant and secure." THAT—is the object of your worship.
"Before and after you read the Scripture, pray earnestly that the Spirit who wrote it may interpret it for you, keep you from unbelief and error, and lead you into the truth." - Richard Baxter
-Some 60% of pastors in the US are over 55. -There number of students training for pastoral ministry has declined by 24% since 2005. -There is a pastoral cliff approaching. So church need to be preparing for that day. #SBC
