Thank you Dr Murray.I just want to recommend to other readers Octavius Winslow’s little, but incredibly powerful, Christ-centered work on this very topic: “Personal Declension and Revival of Religion in the Soul” which is available freely on Grace Gems or in hard copy via Heritage Books:http://www.gracegems.org/W/pd0.htmhttp://www.heritagebooks.org/products/Personal-Declension-and-Revival-of-Reli…

I was thinking along the same lines lately as I thought I was on the edge of a stroke. Turns out the heart seems fine, so I’m not sure what’s going on yet, but it’s not apparently serious. Thinking I might die helped put a lot of things in perspective – trying not to get upset about silly things at work, etc… but mainly thinking about what treasures I’ve stored up in heaven…and how I need to do more, God willing.Thanks for sharing…

When one is in ministry it is easy to lose sight of intentionally seeking the Lord. This post has been very encouraging and convicting to me.

It is impossible to put it into words but as Calvinists we know there is a purpose. One of them must be that I will be more humble before the Lord. Yet already I see that this is so hard to learn. We cannot just change unless God’s grace is granted. Ultimately it has made me feel more urgent to preach the Gospel but these other personal qualities of which you speak are vital. Without love for the Lord our preaching is in vain.

While it is beneficial to others, I am glad to see your reflections on whether it is always the most glorifying to God. Thanks for your humilty and continuing service. May we never lose sight of the Great Thing.
