This is sweet :)

Bonar on the death of M'Cheyne: "Every Christian countenance was darkened with sadness. . . . He used himself to say, 'Live so as to be missed;' & none that saw the tears that were shed over his death would have doubted that his own life had been what he recommended to others."

Miss my pastor. Good words here.

Tomorrow—Lord willing we will be back in GraceLife with Part 2. Pray for me!

“Pragmatism may appear to bear much fruit, but that is only an illusion. It is a suicidal endeavor that uses the devil’s tools to do God’s work. Its effectiveness is limited to the superficial realm, and its effects ravage the spiritual health of the church.” — John MacArthur

Remember hearing this many years ago. The late Voddie Baucham, Jr. preaching truth. A very needed message today.

Always a joy to study God's Word. I found in 1 Thess 3 a hidden treasure, deeply refreshing to my soul. Honored to have preached one more time to the saints in GraceLife. youtube.com/watch?v=N50Xi1…

"All our repentance, could we shed as many tears for sin, as there have fallen drops of rain since the creation, could not have been our atonement: "But God, in Christ, reconciled the world to Himself..." - John Flavel

Amen!

"O blessed pattern! Let the keepers of the vineyards remember they have a vineyard of their own to keep, a soul of their own that must be looked after as well as other men’s..." - John Flavel

"Surely it were better for you reader, to have every member of your body made the seat and subject of the most exquisite racking torments, than for spiritual blindness to befall your soul" - Flavel

"You can be so captivated by the need to mortify your sin that you equate the mortification of sin with sanctification and loose sight of the other aspect here. Not only is there to be the refusal of conformity to the world, but there is to be the transformation into the likeness

lol Spurgeon’s autobiography… this made me laugh 😂

“Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore, think lightly of the Savior” — C.H. Spurgeon

"I have read of a harlot that killed her child, and said that it smiled upon her when she went to stab it. Sinner, does not Christ smile upon you in the gospel? And will you—as it were—stab him to the heart by your infidelity?" —John Flavel

"Reader, be convinced, that one act of faith in the Lord Jesus pleases God more than all the obedience, repentance, and strivings to obey the law, through your whole life, can do...." — John Flavel

"To your work, souls, to your work. Ah, Strive as men that know what an inheritance in heaven is worth" —John Flavel

John MacArthur gives Christians a powerful reminder to always be thankful: "Whatever you think the issues are in your life that steal your joy...you better get over it. Because you of all people on the planet have the most to be thankful for. You have been chosen and elected."🙏

Why is this so controversial? Too many “Dr such and such”…

"Surely, no one on earth can have so much happiness as teh Christian who has a well-grounded certainty that the triune God is his salvation, and that 'to live is Christ, and to die is gain'" — Joel Beeke
