"There are many with whom I can talk about religion: but alas, I find few with whom I can talk religion itself: But, blessed be the Lord, there are some that love to feed on the kernel rather than the shell (p. 292)."
"None knows, but those that feel it, what the soul endures that is sensibly shut out from the presence of God: Alas, 'tis more bitter than death'
Powerful words.........brother Frank
"But Brainerd was alone in his ministry to the end. The last 19 weeks of his life Jerusha Edwards, Jonathan Edwards' 17 year old daughter, was his nurse and many speculate that there was deep love between them. But in the wilderness and in the ministry he was alone, and could only pour out his soul to God. And God bore him and kept him going." John Piper
i cry when i read that, i know the feeling well, and my "Jerusha" is far away.....but tears are good, Godly sorrow is good, i treasure each and every tear. i treasure those times when i get caught up in High Places with God.
but it makes me very happy, you might have enjoyed that article, my dear Frank...i did have a wee bit of a laugh, when David made note of the oppresively profane nature of the chatter of Highland Scotsmen!! oh! that made me laugh, neil
I am guessing there was a lot of Scotch with that opressive Highland Scots chatter:) I am lowlander, and am honored when I run across any saint who wants to talk about the kernal rather than the shell. I enjoyed the article very much..........bro Frank
