In the bible: What's important to you?

"Nothing shall induce me to attempt to interpret the prophecies. By God's grace I will be content to expound the gospel. I believe it to be one of the most fatal devices of Satan to turn aside useful gospel ministers from their proper work into idle speculations on the number of the beast and the meaning of the little horn. The prophecies will interpret themselves by their fulfillment, but no expositor has yet arisen who has been able to do it" (Spurgeon).

The gospel matters much to me. It matters so much that I do not dwell on other things anywhere as much as I dwell on the gospel. We must be utterly satisfied by the gospel for that is where the message of salvation lies.


Reminder to self,
Brendon

Amen, amen. The theologians just tend to debate, debate, debate without fully considering that these things will come when God wills them.
