A Pilgrim's Desperate Grip

"Take fast hold of instruction" says Proverbs 4:13 (1769 KJV) "Take firm hold of instruction, DO NOT LET GO" (emphasis added NKJV) . This desperate grip that believing saints must have on instruction is not near clear enough in the minds of American believers generally speaking. This is a Bible fellowship hour (or Sunday school) lesson that includes numerous people reading and some spontaneous comments. There was a handout used with the lesson that we intend to post soon. There is rarely, if ever, such a thing as taking fast hold on instruction apart from CONCENTRATION. We discuss in this lesson why concentration on factual biblical instruction is anything but automatic. Its work. We excerpt from David Wells' book AGAINST ALL EARTHLY POWERS. Modernity in general and modern America in particular is loaded with challenges that call us to take fast hold on instruction with great vigor. It is our life.
