Gospel-Driven Quote of the Week (12-14-09)

Dec 14, 2009

"It is very easy to speak of it, to bid a man renounce his own idol, which I call his affection, but it is not done so soon. Assuredly, the stronger must come in to cast out these affections; yes, one stronger than the devil must come in to drive out the devil, who makes his residence in the affections...it is most necessary that every man should take heed to himself for the devil is so crafty in regard to this that he is always erecting some idol or other in our souls, and sometimes under the guise of virtue, which is the most dangerous of them all."

Robert Bruce (1589), The Mystery of the Lord's Supper, p. 52
