Jerry Bridges

March 6, 2016, Jerry Bridges passed into the presence of Jesus.  Justin Taylor has written an excellent obituary that you can find HERE.

Even better, why don't you pick up one of Jerry's books (he wrote 25) and read it in his memory.  Personally, I would recommend The Pursuit of Holiness.  It was Bridges' first book and I was introduced to it in the early 80's while in Bible College.  It is one of those rare books that simple yet profound.

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
