by Thomas Watson Christ is the least expensive physician, he takes no fee. He desires us to bring nothing to him but broken hearts. And when he has cured us, he desires us to bestow nothing on him but our love. Christ heals with more ease than any other. Christ makes the devil go out with a word (Mark 9:25). Nay, he can cure with a look: Christ’s look melted Peter into repentance; it…
If your Christianity shows up just on Sunday Mornings, maybe it’s time you examine your Christianity 2 Corinthians 13:5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test? Better yet take the test in 1 John. It has a series of tests to see if you’re a true Christian. Take the test…
(William Plumer, “Sinners Saved by Unmerited Kindness”) In his old age, when he could no longer see to read, John Newton heard someone recite this text, “By the grace of God I am what I am.” He remained silent a short time and then said: “I am not what I ought to be. Ah, how imperfect and deficient! I am not what I wish to be. I abhor that which is evil, and I…
(from Octavius Winslow’s “Solitude Sweetened”) ‘Companionship of God’ is the highest, purest, sweetest mercy a saint of God can have on earth!

Not merely exemption from trial, and freedom from sorrow, and rest from toil, and release from conflict. O no! it is the presence; the full, unclouded presence of our Father…
Some of you know my mom passed away not to long ago, as you see they haven’t even put the year on yet. It really got me thinking as I visited my parents at the cemetery this weekend to honor them, of all the Christians who were martyred for their faith, who stayed in the race no matter what. Even death. I thank God for them and remember them also this day Stephen James…

Romans 11:36 Grace and Peace to you in Him who saves -Lenny
It was Jiminy Cricket who said, “Always let your conscience be your guide.” This is good advice if our conscience is informed and ruled by the Word of God. However, if our conscience is ignorant of Scripture or has been seared or hardened by repeated sin, then Jiminy Cricket theology is disastrous. There is an important role for the conscience to play in the Christian life. It is vital, however, that we have a…
Ignorance of Scripture is the root of every error in religion, and the source of every heresy. To be allowed to remove a few grains of ignorance, and to throw a few rays of light on God’s precious word, is, in my opinion, the greatest honor that can be put on a Christian. (From his commentary on the Gospel of John) J. C. Ryle 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to…
