I can't believe it's been a month since I blogged - goodness! I've been distracted by the ending of Quarters and home improvement projects at my parents', I suppose. Over the past month I have been reading Spurgeon's The Power of the Cross of Christ to better understand, appreciate, and worship Christ's accomplishment and sacrifice. In light of that and SKH's current teaching on Calvinism, I thought this quote very appropriate:
Young people should think. If there is anybody who need not think, it is the old man, whose day is nearly over. But the young have all their life before them. If I were a carpenter and had to make a box, I should not think about it after I had made the box. I should think, before I began to cut my timber, what sort of box it was to be. A young man should think more than anybody else, for now he is, as it were, making his box...A man will consider about taking a wife, he will consider about taking a business, he will consider about buying a horse, but he will not consider about the claims of Christ and the claims of the Most High God. This renders his ignorance willful and inexcusable.
My prayer is that students will ponder, wrestle over, and 'pound scripture' over the challenging theolgoical truths and challenges Calvenism presents - ignorance is simply inexcusable.

There is nothing more fulfilling than meditating on Christ and what He has done. Specifically, His Atonement for our sins, and all that is encompassed with that, is possibly the most rewarding topic of all!
