“He heard the roar, but they did him no harm.”

I gotta read Calvin on the Supper here soon

Piper quote from future grace on the difficulty of rest is money.

Good framework for discipling.

The inevitable faith-feelings chapter. Strong on the ways feelings (esp positive ones) become the object of our faith. Thoughtful practical commentary on Jeremiah 17

Good as it gets for a short treatment of assurance. Especially the description of the witness of the Holy Spirit.

“He who loves his dream of a community more than the Christian community itself becomes a destroyer of the latter, even though his personal intentions may be ever so honest and earnest and sacrificial.”—Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The pastoral sensitivity in this letter was exemplary.

“Spiritual truths are first neglected, then despised, and at last, on easy terms, parted withal.”—John Owen

I founf myself wondering if it’s natural for someone to reference books as much as Hedges does in these fictional letters. . . then it occured to me that I do😏

Letter 16 on the fight put some wind in my sails! I see the enemies and am more eager to got to battle.
