These books were my first introduction to Presbyterianism and Calvinism that I remember. I read them when I was ten or eleven - just before my family started attending a Presbyterian church (the one I now pastor). Now my ten year old is reading them.

The Trinity Hymnal (1961) #620
by Henry Scott Holland (1902)
1. Judge Eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
With thy living fire of judgment
Purge this land of bitter things;
Solace all its wide dominion
With the healing of thy wings.

2. Still the weary folk are pining
For the hour that brings release;
And the city's crowded clangor
Cries aloud for sin to cease;
And the homesteads and the woodlands
Plead in silence for their peace.

3. Crown, O God, thine own endeavor;
Cleave our darkness with thy sword;
Feed the faint and hungry heathen
With the richness of thy Word;
Cleanse the body of this nation
Through the gospel of the Lord.

“We must, therefore, cheerfully embrace the law of God, and that, too, in such a manner, that the love of it, with all its sweetness, may overcome all the allurements of the flesh, otherwise, mere attention to it will be unavailing.”
- John Calvin on Psalm 112:1

"... these duties ought to be reinforced by encouragement, support, and praise, as well as by custom, education, and law. ... the government has a duty to defend the life of the innocent and protect the unborn child from abortion (Psalm 82:3-4, Prov. 30:8-9, Rom. 13:3-4)."

“It is a mother’s duty to care for the helpless infant entrusted to her womb, just as it is likewise a father’s duty to care for the infant he has begotten. This parental responsibility … begins at conception.”

Sorry about the typo in the first tweet - “manned *by* Christian men.”

Have you heard of the phrase “smells and bells”? Thomas Watson gives us another similar phrase in describing what the formalist gives all his attention to: “gestures and vestures.”

Today I completed two sermon series, a series on the book of Malachi and a series on the second book of Samuel (having preached through 1 Samuel before that). You can find the recordings of these two series at the links below.

RT @ZacharyGarris: I had a great time at the New Christendom Press conference. I met many godly Christians. It’s unfortunate a third-party…

Yesterday I was able to participate in the ordination of Dane Bothun as a minister of the Word and his installation as the pastor of Heritage OPC in Springfield, MO.
This was the third ordination in our presbytery since March.

The monarch was said to be the “supreme governor” of the Church of England, not the Church of Scotland. That was a pretty important point for Scottish Presbyterians.
