ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The idea of preaching the gospel to yourself seems to have gained a lot of traction over the past few years. This is, however, an old tactic used by Christians throughout history to fight for a heavenly mind. Richard Baxter is chief among these.
In this episode Baxter coaches us on the work of consideration, wrestling with reason, activating the affections, preaching to yourself, and more.
A few quotes from Baxter...
- Consideration presents to the affections those things that are most important in the most affecting way.
- Consideration is but the reading over and repeating God's reasons to our hearts.
- Meditation holds reason and faith to their work, and blows the fire till it thoroughly burns. To run a few steps will not get a heat, but walking an hour may.
- If you can talk of divine things to others, why not also to your own heart?
