Anyone who regularly plunges into the riches of Scripture, or who plunges into the riches

of the Reform tradition, will eventually face this very sobering question, it's a probing

question.

This topic was taken up by Pastor John and by the late R.C. Sproul, at a Ligdair National

Conference back in 2011.

The conversation was on stage, there the dialogue turned toward how the mind and the heart

relate to the discovery of biblical truth.
