Episode notes
Remembering God Stabilizes Us
- Remembering God stabilizes emotions and thinking during trials.
- Sinclair B. Ferguson says stored knowledge of God's unchanging nature recalibrates us in hard times.
Bunyan 'Bleeds' Scripture
- C.H. Spurgeon said of John Bunyan that "prick Bunyan anywhere, and he bleeds bublin."
- Ferguson uses this to show Bunyan was so saturated with Scripture it naturally flowed out of him.
Internalize Scripture Like A Musician
- Deep absorption of Scripture makes Christian living instinctive rather than artificial.
- Ferguson compares this to a concert pianist who performs from internalized knowledge without the score.
