Flying for Refuge
No. 397
Flying for refuge denotes fear preceding safety, or at least a sense of danger and necessity attending the application of the soul to Christ. He that comes to Christ does as it were resort to him as an hiding place from the wind and as a covert from the tempest, and as he that resorts to a cool shadow in a weary land after he has been scorched and made faint by the heat, and as he that comes at length to a river of refreshing water in a dry place after he has been sore distressed with thirst; and Christ is so much the sweeter to him. Proverbs 18:10, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” WJE 13:428–29
Theology & the Art of Temptation
My goal for Theology and the Art of Temptation is to achieve comprehensive doctrinal coverage of Edwards’s theology and develop it into a series of small group studies (print books, ebooks, handouts, etc.) with great discussion questions. Something that will be easy to lead, lively, entertaining, and unforgettable.
If you would be interested in piloting one of these studies at your church, let me know by replying to this email (or clicking the message button below) with your contact information and I will keep you posted.
