on doubt.
"Let's say you're fairly confident that you have around 95% of your questions about God answered"; and I drew a bracket covering the diagram from 0 to 95. "Now, this professor is sowing seeds of doubt in the 5% area where you're more vulnerable. In your zeal to discover more truth about God--and because of your perfectionistic flesh patterns--you are setting your mind on the 5% you don't understand while virtually ignoring the 95% that you do understand. Your goal is noble: to increase your knowledge of God and His Word. But because you are not setting your mind on the truth which God has already taught you, your retention level is regressing from 95% to 90%, then to 88% and so on. The Deceiver's goal is to keep doing this to you until your faith becomes so weak that he can completely undermine your walk with Christ.

like the quote.
EVERY time I read that guy's name, I keep thinking it says "Dr. Bill Graham"!
Also, that quote seems like a variation of the biggest thing I learned/grew in as a result of Halifax Project 2007 as a student. Although somehow I've got to keep struggling to make progress in that "lesson" and not lose ground, it seems....
there is so much truth in that quote Lyds! thanks for sharing :)
a) paulman - ME TOO!
b) glad you found this quote, Lyds. Also, listening to Driscoll's sermon "Persevere until God is Finished with you" might help too!
