Hi Doc, This quote reminds me of Philippians 3:12-16: "Phil 3:12 ΒΆ Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Phil 3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; Phil 3:16 however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained." Jonathan Edwards was part of "The Great Awakening" (1734-1743) period of time in the American Colonies, along with George Whitefield and William Tennent, that began as a series of isolated spiritual revivals in the Connecticut Valley. But this revival quickly spread through the colonies, causing a renewed spiritual fervor even through the 1740s. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Dear Makarios, Jonathan Edwards is probably one of my favorite theologians -- although John Owen follows a close second. (Of course, John Calvin is right up there too!) I suppose that John Piper comes closest to a Jonathan Edwards of our day. There was a saying I heard in school, "A real theologian, upon hearing 'John, John, John, John, and John,' knows precisely who is being mentioned." :-) In Him, Doc PS Paul Washer is another man fairly similar to Edwards, but I did not want to include him as he is not a John. :-) |
