1 | While the Preacher Preaches | Luke 1:77 | DocTrinsograce | 242574 | ||
"Whilst the preacher is expounding and applying the word of the Lord, look upon him; for it is a great help to stir up thine attention, and to keep thee from wandering thoughts: so the eyes of all that were in the synagogue are said to have been fastened on Christ whilst He preached, and that all the people hanged upon Him [listened attentively] when they heard Him. Remember that thou art there as one of Christ's disciples, to learn the knowledge of salvation, by the remission of sins, through the tender mercy of God (Luke 1:77). Be not, therefore, in the school of Christ, like an idle boy in a grammar-school, that often hears, but never learns his lesson; and still goes to school, but profiteth nothing. Thou hatest it in a child -- Christ detesteth it in thee." --Lewis Bayly (1611) |

Dear Ed, I found this in book entitled "Practice of Piety: Directing a Christian How to Walk, that He Might Please God" by Lewis Bayly in 1611. http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bayly/piety The quote I took from it was on this page: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bayly/piety.iv.xii.iii.html He enumerates further recommendations on that page if you are interested. In Him, Doc |

Doc Thank you! I read the article and I have passed it on to other pastors. I think it is an excellent teaching for all Christians. Teaching them how to both reap and glean the most from their Sunday experiences. I would advise any interested to read this article. EXCELLENT! Thanks again for pointing me to it. Ed |
