Quote of the Day

There are Christians who say, 'I am saved, and all is right with me; I am not interested in anything else. I am not a theologian, I do not want to read great books on theology'. But no Christian has a right to remain a babe in that way, he has no right to not exercise his senses. 'But I am a practical man', you say, 'I am a great worker'. But you have no right to divide yourself up in that way. It should be the ambition of every Christian to 'grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord'. You should study your bible, read the best books you can, get knowledge that is as deep and profound as possible, and 'exercise your senses' (Hebrews 5:14 KJV). Because according to the inspired authors, if you do not, you cannot receive the whole truth. If you remain a babe, and do not grow and develop, you will have to continue to be spoon-fed with milk, and you will never know anything about the strong meat of the Word of God, and of the doctrine of Salvation. Apply your minds therefore, struggle with the truth, insist upon getting an understanding of truth. If you have a willing heart, and a true desire, you can be certain that the Spirit will always come to your aid. You will grow not only in grace, but 'in the knowledge of the Lord'. -D Martin Lloyd Jones
