Is There Any Privilege So Precious As This - Hugh Binning

Is there any privilege so precious as this, to be the sons of God (1 John 3:2)? What are all the relations, or states, or conditions to this one, to be the children of the Highest? It was David's question, "Should I be the king's son-in-law?" Alas! What a petty and poor dignity compared with this, to be the sons of God, partakers of a divine nature!

the testing time is coming - DL Moody

"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." (Luke 22:31-32 ESV)

 

There is no one beyond the reach of the tempter. Keep that in mind. Life may run smoothly for a while, but the testing time is coming.

If I Can Hear Christ Praying For Me - Robert Murray M'Cheyne

Let Them See - Richard Baxter

Most people judge the counsel they receive by the way they receive the affection of their counselor. See that you feel a tender love for your people, and then let them feel it by your speeches and see it in your dealings with them… Let them see that all you do is for their own sakes and not for your own end.

 

Richard Baxter 1615-1691

 

 

 

 

Our Greatest Need - D. Martin Lloyd-Jones

 It is our failure as Christian people to understand what our church membership means – the dignity, the privilege, and the responsibility – that causes most of our troubles.  Our greatest need is to recapture the New Testament teaching concerning the church.
