"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)
A spiritual life based on feelings and inner promptings that is not based on a firm understanding of the Word of God has injured many. Eventually, most find out that what they were really devoted to was not God, but themselves.

My desire is not merely to know theology, but to live it. But you can't live it if you don't know it!
