The Devil is but a Whetstone
“Not one ounce, not one grain-weight more is laid on me than He hath enabled me to bear… Faith hath cause to take courage from our very afflictions; the devil is but a whetstone to sharpen the faith and patience of the saint. I know he but heweth and polishesh stones for the new Jerusalem.”

The Great Discovery - A Puritan Prayer
Glorious God,
I bless Thee that I know Thee. I once lived in the world, but was ignorant of its Creator, was partaker of Thy providences, but knew not the Provider, was blind while enjoying the sunlight, was deaf to all things spiritual, with voices all around me, understood many things, but had no knowledge of […]
The Sacrifices of God
“All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the LORD. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.” (Isaiah 66:2)
Last weekend we spent time in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina on […]
Suffering
“If your Lord call you to suffering, be not dismayed; there shall be a new allowance of the King for you when you come to it. One of the softest pillows Christ hath is laid under His witnesses’ head, though often they must set down their bare feet among thorns.”
- Samuel Rutherford, The Loveliness of […]
The Spirit as Teacher

That which I know not, teach thou me, keep me a humble disciple in the school of Christ, learning daily there what I am in myself, a fallen sinful creature, justly deserving everlasting destruction; O let me never lose sight of my need of a Saviour, or forget that apart from […]
Meeting God
Great God, in public and private, in sanctuary and home, may my life be steeped in prayer, filled with the spirit of grace and supplication, each prayer perfumed with the incense of atoning blood. Help me, defend me, until from praying ground I pass to the realm of unceasing praise. Urged by my need, invited […]
Lest They Should be Puffed Up
Temptations serve to abase the servant of God, and to bring him down in his own conceit, that he be not proud of those things that are in him, or puffed up with conceit that there is more in him than indeed there is. This we saw in Paul’s example: he was buffeted of Satan, […]
To Him be Glory and Power for Ever and Ever
“To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father - to Him be the glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.” - Revelation 1:5-6
Don’t Add On…
This poem by Blair Wingo is outstanding. The theology here is so correct and so beautiful. May our preachers in churches today listen carefully to what is said here. Please listen carefully….
“For I determined to know nothing among you except Christ Jesus and Him crucified.” - 1 Corinthians 2:2
Amen! Solus Christus! (Christ alone)
Blessings
Thou Great Three-One,
Author of all blessings I enjoy, of all I hope for, Thou hast taught me that neither the experience of present evils, nor the remembrances of former sins, nor the remonstrances of friends, will or can affect a sinner’s heart, except thou vouchsafe to reveal thy grace and quicken the dead in sin […]
