Personal reflections on what I have learned:
1) Christ is sufficient for everything
2) God is faithful - always
3) The Holy Spirit is the greatest illuminator of Scripture - period
4) There are no regrets in obedience to the Lord
5) Scripture memory and meditation saved my life from absolute despair
6) The gospel is higher, deeper, and wider than I ever imagined
7) A life of holiness is very lonely in regards to man, but very intimate in regards to Christ
8) Marriage and family are a great gift from God
9) Praying the Scriptures is a soul-satisfying endeavor
10) Bodily exercise profits a little, but with godliness there is great gain
A few things I have learned about church along the way:
1) The church is the only institution that Christ bled and died for
2) The church has more value than the school, sports, hobbies, jobs, and self
3) The value of the church is understood by very few people
4) Every memory of any value in my life is tied to the church in some way
5) People with a low view of the church have a low view of God
6) Family, friends, and favoritism trump theology 9 out 10 times
7) The church gets used, disrespected, maligned, and insulted more than any other institution, but yet she marches on
8) I love to sing, pray, give, serve, fellowship, hear the Word, and study in the church more than any other place in the world
9) Few people actually know what a true church is
10) When all is said and done the church will be without spot or wrinkle, holy, and without blemish
