Growing in the Word
Story★★★★[A] Augustine
Such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures that even if I were attempting to study them
and nothing else from early boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost leisure, the most
unwearied zeal, and talents greater than I have, I would still daily be making progress in
discovering their treasures.-St. Augustine, in a letter to his son in A.O. 412. 2
[B] Spurgeon
Nobody ever outgrows Scripture: the Book widens and deepens with our years. -Charles
Spurgeon
The point
Two powerful quotes on Scripture's inexhaustible depth: Augustine's observation that a lifetime of study never exhausts Scripture's treasures, and Spurgeon's affirmation that 'Scripture widens and deepens with our years.' An inspiring call to lifelong Scripture engagement.
