Thank your Sir, your ministry has had a great impact on my life.

I do the same thing as Dr. Mohler. In my Theological library I learned this in Seminary. This way as a return to these books for sermon research, and study I can recall my thought about a certain topic in a book. Second it helps remind me of the main points in the book, and third it helps me in that instead of having numerous notes on file, or documents in my computer, I can just go back to the book it self. I have a rather large library and it would be to much to keep filed all the notes and thoughts on all the books I've read.

At 26:00, I was interested in your mentioning of Sandy Creek in the Carolinas. I had the privilege of visiting the original Sandy Creek church last year while filling some speaking engagements in nearby Stanly County NC. That congregation was associated with the Separate Baptists, which as you pointed out, were far less concerned with "order" and more concerned with revival than what you might call Regular Baptists, at the time. I have a brief video I filmed on my smartphone in the video section of this Marchtozion account. I do want to clarify though, that the ministers of Sandy Creek, while they practiced open air preaching and were revival minded, were nothing similar to the semi-Pelagians making up the majority of the SBC today. Men such as Shubal Stearns definitely believed the doctrines of grace, even though they were among the Separates.
My visit to Sandy Creek prompted more study of US Baptist history, particularly concerning the Separates vs Regulars. I found the Separate position on ordinances interesting. Could you imagine considering it an ordinance to "greet one another with a holy kiss"? If memory serves, they had nine or so ordinances. Strange indeed.
By the way, I pastor what is recognized as the oldest Baptist church in Alabama, Flint River. She was founded in 1808 (a few months prior to Alabama's oldest SBC Church, FBC Huntsville), and is actually a grandchild of Sandy Creek Church. I'd often imagined what it was like to attend a Baptist church of the early 19th Century. That's be one of the first stops if I ever had a flying Delorian. ;-)

In light of your last question, there comes a point where we have to join Luther and say, "Here I stand." Knowing all the time we may well be placing ourselves in jeopardy. But is not Christ worth such a stand ?

[@randycorn5601]

Thanks for your remarks about reading. I have been studying the process of reading for a good while. I am curious about how many hours a week you devote to reading.

[@ccemanes3609]

Dr. Mohler, I just view tour CNN interview. In it, you were very critical with Donald Trump. What do you think of him now?

[@ColCastree]

With triage 1,2,3, where would a church that says that 1. Christ didn't pay a ransom. 2. Jesus' words are a little bit more valid than the rest of the bible. 3. Jesus didn't ask for purity, just love. We shouldn't judge if a man is in bed with a man. 4. Homosexual priests. 5. Rights for men to marry men, women to marry women. 6. A sermon is a 5 min talk if you have one at all.

I never mark in a book, because I recognize that one day another person will read that book, so what right have I to vandalize/deface it? Books are not like toothbrushes, to be used by only one person before discarding. Books are intended to have multiple readers, over many years, and later readers should not have to wade through the additions earlier readers left in order to get at what the author himself intended to say.

Greg B ... you have to learn somehow, sounds like you have a gift, by just looking you learn. If I don't use my hands I don't retain. I went through 10 years of college this way.
