“Several years ago, my son Jack and I had the opportunity to
play the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland, where the game of golf began.
It was simply amazing! Upon my return I tried to convey to others the magnitude
of the experience. But I couldn’t. Photos, videos, and my best descriptions
were totally inadequate. I finally realized the only way for someone to know
the grandeur of St. Andrews is to experience it. So it is with the word of God.
We can teach it, we can preach it, we can explain it. We can talk about it, we
can describe it, we can even testify of it. But until a person feels the sacred
word of God distill upon his or her soul like the dews from heaven through the
power of the Spirit, it will be like looking at a postcard or someone else’s
vacation photos. You have to go there yourself.” – Jan E. Newman
