Subject: So Slow to Learn |
Bible Note: "What lessons we need day by day to teach us anything aright, and how it is for the most part, 'line upon line, line upon line -- here a little, and there a little.' O . . . . . . what slow learners! . . . what dull, forgetful scholars! . . . what ignoramuses! . . . what stupid blockheads! . . . what stubborn pupils! "Surely no scholar at a school, old or young, could learn so little of natural things as we seem to have learned of spiritual things after . . . . . . so many years instruction, . . . so many chapters read, . . . so many sermons heard, . . . so many prayers put up, . . . so much talking about religion. "How small, how weak is the amount of growth—compared with all we have read and heard and talked about! "But it is a mercy that the Lord saves whom He will save—and that we are saved by free grace -- and free grace alone!" --J. C. Philpot (1802-1869) Brothers and sisters, I find this terribly convicting. More than many, I am often "yet so dull." May our Lord have mercy. In Him, Doc |
