Subject: What To Shut Your Mind Against |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Kalos, Richard Baxter made an interesting comment on 2 Timothy 2:23, "Avoid frequent disputes about lesser truths, and religion that lies only in opinions. He whose religion is all in his opinions, will be most frequently and enthusiastically mouthing them; but he whose religion lies in the knowledge and love of God, will be most delightfully speaking of that happy time when he shall enjoy them. The least controversial points are usually the most important and most necessary for our souls." I hope to have a suitable answer to your original question at some point in the near future. Thank you for your patience. In Him, Doc |
