Impactful words from a Puritan

I was reading from the The Valley of Vision this morning, and the prayer my eyes were drawn to was aptly titled “The Nevers of the Gospel”.  As I read it, the stanza that has left an impact was, ” May I never, rest in a system of doctrine, however scriptural, that does not bring or further salvation…” and I think about this and the influences we have today that are ripping us away from the Gospel message.  Our one desire and passion is to know God and seek after Him while so many things interrupt our relationship with Him.  I am struck by these words penned by a Puritan brother that have relevance for us today.  May we, as followers of Jesus Christ not be swayed or thrown out of discord by an insignificant systematic unit, but that our hearts would grow deeper and fonder of the Gospel message found in the pages of the divinely inspired Word of God passed down from the apostles teaching to us now.  If you do not have this book called The Valley of Vision I would highly recommend it to you.  Words are powerful, and the words of brothers who have fought the good fight echo in our ears and can impact us to remember, we are not followers of a certain systematic doctrine, but we are followers of the one true God, the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom we own all reverence and honor to Him for saving us when we were but dead in our sins.  Blessings to you all.
