Like miners, we must be willing to push ourselves to the farthest limit, deprive ourselves of temporal joys, and burrow through countless hours of study and prayer in order to gain the prize of the knowledge of the gospel. Otherwise, we will always be a people dull of heart because of the ignorance that is in us.7 We must turn our eyes to the rock from which we were hewn.8 We must seek to rediscover the gospel of old, to be recaptured by it, and to preach it with passion like people who know their God and understand what He has done for them!9
