Perspective and Encouragement
"As no temporal blessing is good enough to be a sign of eternal election; so no temporal affliction is bad enough to be an evidence of reprobation."

Arrowsmith? Is that you again, or just someone I've never heard of?

Derek,

Definitely NOT the Rock Band. Probably John Arrowsmith 1602-1559, an English theologian and academic, and who was a mover and shaker at Cambridge.

I do confess, however, that my citation was from a secondary source and I cannot say in which of his works said quote can be found.

I suggest you ask a Clarkian, since they are always infallible.


Blessings,


Tony

Oh, I thought you might have made a new pseudonym in honor of your retirement from blogdom.

"Ask a Clarkian." LOL. You must have read my latest post! :)

I'm DEFINITELY going to miss you. Just this morning I was taking stock of how much I've learned and grown through your work. And there's still a whole bunch I haven't heard yet, so I'll be catching up for a few years.

Blessings,
Derek

Derek,

I read all of your posts and will continue to do so. I'm just not much for commenting and you always make your points so well.

It seems that Arrowsnmith lived a life of 43 years BACKWARDS (1602-1559??!!??), instead of a life of 57 years forwards. Should be 1602-1659. Not my first mistake and definitely not my my last.

Write me for a perspective whenever the commenters get too uppity and you feel the need.


Blessings,


Tony
