How Infinitely Good It Will Be - Archbishop Usher

"When Peter saw Moses and Elijah with Christ in his transfiguration, though he had but a glimpse of glory, yet he says "It is good for us to be here." But Oh! How infinitely good it will be to be in heaven. How shall we then be rapt up with glory, when we shall be forever with the Lord!

Archbishop Usher 1581-1656

 

 

 

 

 

Consciences, Principles, and Practices - Jonathan Edwards

If You Are Ever - Robert Murray Mccheyne

"The form of this world is passing away"    1 Cor 7:31

This is a Holy and Blessed Life -Martin Luther

Let us learn here (John 2:1-11The Wedding at Cana) how greatly our Lord God esteems the fourth commandment. For where people are married, there a household is constituted with father and mother, wife and children, hired hands and maidservants, cattle and fields, all laboring for daily bread. The Lord wants to teach us that this is a holy and blessed life, that we should not disdain marriage but esteem it very highly as created and ordained by God, even as Christ did.
