“Study hard,” Baxter once wrote, “for the well of spiritual knowledge is deep, and our brains are shallow.” Baxter studied hard and labored tirelessly until he passed to the saints’ everlasting rest in 1691 at age 76. Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. The Scriptures train God’s servants to do all kinds of good deeds. … I command you to preach God’s message. 2 Timothy 3:16-4:2a
