Preach Sermons, Not Commentaries
The heart of man is a fortress without a drawbridge. It is so hard and impregnable that it takes divine weapons and skilled soldiers to regularly invade it with the truth.

Men are dying; the saints are tempted and weary; has God spoken or not? He has indeed, and men preach sermons proclaiming those words.

Listening to Joel Beeke, Mark Dever, John Piper and Iain Murray often reference the Puritans kept me ever-searching for other puritan guys. As of late Thomas Watson has been a favorite of mine. Which Puritan has been of much influence lately for you?
