This past January I finished reading Charles Bridge's The Christian Ministry. It was recommended to me by an older minister. Rarely I have been so convicted personally by a book. The entire text was used by the Holy Spirit to show me my failings in sermon preparation and delivery. Anyone who is considering ministry should read it. I thought I would post some of my favorite quotes from it. Here is the first.
Let us ever stop where revelation stops; and not pretend to move one inch beyond it. p. 250
"And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of the battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City."

Let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud on their beds, let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples; to bind the kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron. Psalm 149:5-8
