It stops you thinking, and working out things together. You have to do the hard work of thinking in order for the truth will sink deep into your heart and mind. John Piper says lots about that in his book "THINK". Really worth a read.<br />"THINK is a bracing gust of fresh air in a stale and musty room that hasn't been aired out in a generation or more. In this book, the love of God and the life of the mind are passionately connected in the way Scriptures require, and the result is a direct challenge to the intellectual sloppiness and disobedience that is so characteristic of our time."<br /><br />– Douglas Wilson, pastor, Christ Church, Moscow, IdahoRos Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499144892603989655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-90913909181597652142012-07-13T10:24:19.457-07:002012-07-13T10:24:19.457-07:00Great advice and I will use it.

It's so easy to rely on studies, methods, or people to provide the wisdom without really searching and learning for myself! You're so smart! ;)<br />**A few weeks ago, I noticed an article was spreading like wildfire on facebook among my church friends and other Christian peers. Life was busy, so I really didn't get around to reading it until today. It was good...very good, very convicting, very challenging...and then I saw the author name at the bottom...YOU! SO glad The Gospel Coalition tapped into your posts!
