Quotes:
"The Gospel takes up the whole man - mind, heart, and will. And it does so in that order [Romans 6.17]. The mind is persuaded, the heart moved and the will bent." ― Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
“God is the highest good of the reasonable creature.” ― Jonathan Edwards.
“All truth is given by revelation, either general or special, and it must be received by reason. Reason is the God-given means for discovering the truth that God discloses, whether in his world or his Word. While God wants to reach the heart with truth, he does not bypass the mind.” ― Jonathan Edwards.
“Lord, stamp eternity on my eyeballs.” ― Jonathan Edwards.
“Resolution One: I will live for God.
Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.
Resolution 17: Resolved, that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.”
Resolution 28: Resolved, to study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.”
― Jonathan Edwards
