Friday is biographical sketch day! Yahooooo!
Today, we looked at the life of Jonathan Edwards. Honestly, the life and ministry of this great man of God was too extensive for me to type in a summary here. To get a glimpse and a summary of his life, read this biographical sketch from swordofthelord.com.
One of the things we noted about Jonathan Edwards is that although he is considered by many to be one of the greatest minds that America has ever produced, Edwards was not an ivory tower theologian. He always married the mind with heart in order to direct all of his affections to Christ and His Glory.
In considering some habits that may have aided him in his devotional walk with Christ, we noted that Edwards wrote his "Resolutions" as a young man, and made a commitment to read through those resolutions at least once a week, every week. Feel free to read through some of those resolutions to see the heart and will of this devotional and spiritual giant.
May his life and ministry inspire us to walk more closely with Jesus.
Bible reading for today: Acts 10: 34-48; Joshua 9&10.
See ya tomorrow!
