Rev. Bruce Brown

“It rarely seems to strike us that it is precisely here, in our speech that sin is most likely to abound. Only when we have been brought to such a recognition do we realize how dangerous and destructive our tongues have been. Only then do we cry out to God in repentance and run to him with tears to seek forgiveness in the gospel.” ~ Sinclair Ferguson
