“Thou hast imputed my sin to my substitute, and hast imputed His righteousness to my soul, clothing me with a bridegroom’s robe, decking me with jewels of holiness. But in my Christian walk I am still in rags; my best prayers are stained with sin; my penitential tears are so much impurity; my confessions ofContinueContinue reading “Continual Repentance”

“It is easier to crush the egg than to kill the serpent.” -Thomas Manton Imagine you found a snake den in your home and it had a clutch of eggs in it. What would you do?

There is no explanation in either story stating why he refused or what the cousin needed the money for. Only the ones involved really know the back story,ContinueContinue reading “Better to give than not”

“Satan loves to fish in the troubled waters of a discontent heart.” -Thomas Watson In the letter to the Philippians, Paul writes one of the most quoted verses to this day:  (Philippians 4:13) “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” The verse is often quoted alone and out of its true context.

“God’s seasons are not at your beck. If the first stroke of the flint does not bring forth the fire, you must strike again.” -Thomas Manton Imagine having a great need for fire and you only have the old flint and steel to light it. You strike the two together and nothing, no fire. SoContinueContinue reading “Flint and Steel”

“Ah, children, be afraid of going prayerless to bed, lest the Devil be your bedfellow” -Cotton Mather I can remember that at a very early age, probably much earlier than I think, my parents encouraged and constantly reminded my sister and I to say our prayers before we went to sleep. We were told toContinueContinue reading “Bedtime Prayer”
