“I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But your business is to trade with your spiritual abilities. ... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself; but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart are not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.” MenMindHeartMayHas BeensLastsSpiritualJesusChristAbilityBusinessKnownStudyWeekJesus ChristTradeVery GoodMinistersSufficientGood ManMinistryHeart And MindSermonsLast DayDays Of The WeekSpiritual Gifts Author:John Owen
