Just a reminder - my quoting of any theologian is not necessarily a personal endorsement of or agreement with that quote. I post things I find interesting or of some significance

“Good works are not separated from faith; only faith challenges its seniority.
Faith is that spouse-like grace which marries Christ, and good works are the children which faith bears.”
—Puritan Thomas Watson, The Christian’s Charter of Privelages, in Discourses, 1:116

Good morning!
The church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
to guide, sustain, and cherish,
is with her to the end;
though there be those that hate her,
and false sons in her pale,
against both foe and traitor
she ever shall prevail.

On faith: “My soul thinks Ben should be God, and I want that to die. Cancer sucks. But I’m pretty grateful that cancer is a stake against my delusional self-idolatry.” (3/6)

When the fruit of the Spirit show in our lives, it's a reflection of how God has treated us. Just as God is patient, kind, and good toward us as redeemed sinners, we are empowered by His Spirit to reflect those same traits toward others.

Discontentment tempts you to dream of being faithful where you wish God would place you rather than being faithful where He has placed you.

(1) A weak Christian, one weak in Faith, looks more within than without, grounds more on the good Desires and Heavenliness of his Affections, than the Covenant and Promise of God : Now a strong Christian looks to Christ. Because I live, ye shall live also, John xiv. 19. It is...

(1) Union with Christ is typified by marriage:
From hence you may perceive the unspeakable Nearness there is between Christ and his People; can there be a sweeter. and more glorious Union than this! If we consider the Properties of it, it is a spiritual, a real, an...

“The glorious paradox of Christianity is that if we pretend our sin does not exist, it will haunt us all our lives. But if we own our sin, Jesus will take it from us.”

More evidence that the universe was designed!
Every second, the Sun ejects 1.5 million tons of material into space at hundreds of miles per second, but Earth's magnetic field protects it from the solar wind.

No welcome you get at work can ever equal the welcome a child will give you at home.

The cost of having children is worth the presence of children.
Full stop.
I am dumbstruck at how our society thinks of children as a costly, time-consuming drag. What an impoverished way to think.
No vacation will hold your hand in the hospital. No amount of mimosas at brunch can walk with you through grief. Double incomes cannot replace empty seats around the dinner table.

Don't trust a man who will not submit himself to a local church - no matter how sound his theology appears to be!
You can't love Christ genuinely and reject His bride.

"The Baptists confess the very thing we explicitly reject in the Belgic."
Case closed. Baptists can't be Reformed in any way because we disagree with something in the BC.
But what does that mean for @RScottClark's rejection of what the Belgic confesses?
