To His Glory

Here is a link to a portion of Body of Divinity by Thomas Watson which I thought was a good exhortation on living for the glory of God: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/watson/divinity.v.i.html

“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Rom. 8:34 (KJV)

Disciples bear fruit
Posted in Quotes on September 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
“Bear much fruit: so shall ye be My disciples—Let me beg every reader to consider these words most seriously. Be not content with the thought of gradually doing a little more or better work.

I was at a men’s conference today, and one of the speakers, Kevin Day, was teaching on Enoch from Heb. 11. He was speaking about walking with God, and said that it was to “choose to go where God wants to take you”. That really spoke to me as I am in a [...]
Christmas Carols
Posted in Quotes on December 7, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
One thing I like about this time of year, are the carols. Some of them are so full of Scriptural truth, and even present the gospel. Take for instance these words from Hark the Herald Angels Sing by Charles Wesley:
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,

“We should follow our Lord as unhesitatingly as sheep follow their shepherd, for he has a right to lead us wherever he pleases. We are not our own, we are bought with a price—let us recognize the rights of the redeeming blood.”
(from: Evening, September 18, Morning and Evening: Daily Readings, by Charles Haddon Spurgeon)
