Here, then, is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work.

The issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God, but whether we believe the God we believe in. (p.35)
R.C. SproulMen are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God
