  • Its Leaf Does Not Wither | Psalm 1:3

    Let us plant ourselves in Him who alone will bring us to “completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6), for apart from this steam of divine grace none of us can endure till the end.

    Questions for Reflection

    • In what ways has the Lord’s Day replaced the Sabbath for Christians, and why is that so important?

    • Why does Watson place such an importance upon conversation?
    • Are your conversations holy in the way that Watson describes? Why or why not?

    • Your Child Is Human (& 14 Other Parenting Principles)

      These are certainly not exhaustive and will undoubtedly be tweaked as our daughter continues to grow and we gain two more little ones. Therefore, I do not offer these up as an aged guru whose journey is complete but as a fellow traveler pointing out whatever provisions or snares that I see along the way.

    • That Yields Its Fruit | Psalm 1:3

      Are these things true of you? Does your life bring forth the fruits of the Spirit or the fruits of the flesh (see Galatians 5:19-21)? Are you also bearing your fruit in its season? Are you keeping in step with where the Spirit has you, or are you like a horse or mule that “must be curbed with bit and bridle” to stay near (Psalm 32:9)?

    • By Streams of Water | Psalm 1:3

      Christian, if you do not delight in and meditate upon God’s Word, you are planting yourself in a parched, desert land. You are depriving yourself of the stream of living water granted to you by our triune God. Plant yourself, therefore, beside this stream, and drink deeply each day.
