The whole of our restoration and salvation [comes] from a firm faith in God's kindness towards us in the satisfaction made by the Lord Jesus Christ, wrought by the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Bucer

"At the creation the morning stars sang together and all the children of God rejoiced. At the birth of Christ the multitude of heavenly hosts raised the jubilee of God’s good will. On the birthday of the church that church itself sings the wonderful works of God in myriad tones." --Herman Bavinck

"We are ushering in a dangerous new politics, a sort of hedonic utilitarianism in which the convenience of adults ... [trumps] the lives of the young & old. This is the pagan philosophy, with its cult of strength, which Christianity banished but is now returning" www.spectator.co.uk/article/abor...

@ericortlund.bsky.social's commentary on Ecclesiastes is absolute vanity. (I hope he gets the joke). The last three chapters especially, and the last chapter above all. Brilliant.

"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you". Luke 22:31. Fascinatingly, the "you" is plural in the Greek. Satan wasn't just demanding Simon, he wanted all the disciples. But what he wants, he doesn't get.

Pity the nations, O our God, constrain the earth to come; send Thy victorious Word abroad, and bring the strangers home. We long to see Thy churches full, that all the chosen race may, with one voice and heart and soul, sing Thy redeeming grace. Isaac Watts

It’s no little thing when someone becomes a Christian. Bringing a disobedient unbeliever to obey and believe the Lord Jesus is the work of God. God's gospel. Christ's accomplishment. The Spirit's power. (Rom 15:15-19)

One of my dreams for LEC: that it becomes increasingly normal for us to say "I love you" to each other. I think that would please the Lord Jesus.

This! Because my greatest need is not more comfort (which your burdens might hinder), but having a more loving heart (which your burdens will help).

It is a mercy that our lives are not left for us to plan, but that our Father chooses for us; else we might sometimes turn away from our best blessings and put from us the choicest and loveliest gifts of His providence. Susie Spurgeon

Trying to rule what one serves—being enslaved by what one tries to rule—trying to play God to one’s gods, & ending up the captive of them all—that is idolatry. It is a satanic parody of man’s original relation to his Maker, & a source of endless misery to all its practioners. J I Packer

In cases of discouragement we must consider ourselves as Christ does, who looks on us as those he intends to fit for himself. Christ values us by what we shall be, and by what we are elected unto. Sibbes

The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12 Day, not night, lies ahead for all in Christ.
