Bible Note: Doc, it's good to learn that you and Karen have plans to dig deeper into Scripture. Perhaps you will be encouraged by the following quote excerpted from one of Spurgeon's sermons: "Many books in my library are now behind me and beneath me; I read them years ago, with considerable pleasure; I have read them since with disappointment; I shall never read them again. They were good in their way once, and so were the clothes I wore when I was ten years old -- but I have outgrown them. Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. The deeper you dig into Scripture, the more you find that it is a great abyss of truth." ........ Indeed, as your pastor friend observed, the gospel is the A to Z of our faith. But, alas, in far too many watered-down, pale versions of the gospel that are popular in our time, the gamut of genuine gospel teaching runs all the way from A to B. --Hank |
