Several years ago, I came across a passage from B.B. Warfield’s sermon entitled “Imitating the Incarnation.” This passage so caught my attention that I put it on a note-card and taped it to my desk. Here is the passage:

“Self-sacrifice means not indifference to our times and our fellows: it means absorption in
them. It means forgetfulness of self in others. It means entering into every man’s hopes and fears,
longings and despairs: it means manysidedness of spirit, multiform activity, multiplicity of
sympathies. It means richness of development. It means not that we should live one life, but a
thousand lives,—binding ourselves to a thousand souls by the filaments of so loving a sympathy that
their lives become ours”

For someone like myself, who knows very little about the life of Warfield, this show was tremendous. Keep up the good work.

Best wishes,
