This minisode centers on the reading from an excerpt from That Incredible Christian by A.W. Tozer. In this excerpt, Tozer shows that regret should have no long term place in the life of one who is in Christ.
Thanks to Tim Challies and his website challies.com for bringing this passage from Tozer to my attention.

On March 18th, we visit the man who is perhaps the best-known theologian in American history (but who, over two decades before the Revolutionary War, would have considered himself a British theologian).
“Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.” Jonathan Edwards
It’s day 17 of the march through church history. Today’s quote is from an English theologian who was considered a giant of interpreting the Bible by those who heard them. His influence remains with us to this day:
“When God will have any great matters done, he sets his people’s hearts to work at prayer by a kind of gracious instinct. He stirs them up and moves their hearts by the influence of his Holy Spirit.” Thomas Goodwin
With 2017 being the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, on this 16th day of our march through church history, we will be reading a quote from perhaps Christian history’s best-known reformer:
“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” Martin Luther
The Ides of March has come but it will not go until we visit a devotional writer of the 15th century whose book “Imitation of Christ” is the all-time best selling Christian writing after the Bible.
“At the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done.” Thomas à Kempis
