Orthodox Head and Heart

This is a sobering quote from Richard Baxter's book, The Reformed Pastor:

"Is it not a pity, then, that our hearts are not as orthodox as our heads? But I see we have but half learned our lesson, when we know it, and can say it. When the understanding hath learned it, there is more ado to teach our wills and affections, our eyes, our tongues, and hands. It is a sad thing that so many of us preach our hearers asleep; but it is sadder still, if we have studied and preached ourselves asleep, and have talked so long against hardness of heart, till our own has grown hardened under the noise of our own reproofs."

May this not be said of us, but may God give us the grace to truly learn with the mind, heart and will what are the manifold riches of grace we read about! Pray for me as I continue to learn more and more in TBI that my mind will not be the only part of me that profits. Thanks!
