• February 25, 2024The Christ Who Loves Us

  The love of Christ is rich and free; Fixed on his own eternally; Nor earth,

  – William Gadsby

• February 16, 2024The Surprising Son of Man

  Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious:

  See the Man of Sorrows now;

  From the fight returned victorious,

  Every knee to Him shall bow.

  Crown Him! Crown Him!

  Crowns become the Victor's brow.

  – Thomas Kelley

• February 11, 2024The Christ Who Freed Us by His Blood

  The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay upon the Father, the greatest

  unkindness you can do to Him is not to believe that He loves you.

• February 04, 2024Conquering by the Blood of the Lamb

  Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know

  dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.

  – G. K. Chesterton

• January 28, 2024The God Who Gives Us His Mind

  In Jesus’ mouth the human word becomes God’s Word. When we pray along with

  the prayer of Christ, God’s Word becomes again a human word. Thus all

  prayers of the Bible are such prayer, which we pray together with Jesus

  Christ, prayers in which Christ includes us, and through which Christ

  brings us before the face of God. . . . If we want to read and to pray the

  prayers of the Bible, and especially the Psalms, we must not, therefore,

  first ask what they have to do with us, but what they have to do with Jesus

  Christ. We must ask how we can understand the Psalms as God’s Word, and

  only then can we pray them with Jesus Christ.

  – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

• January 21, 2024The King Who Invites Us to Pray

  Formerly, when I rose, I began to pray as soon as possible. But I often

  spent a quarter of an hour to an hour on my knees struggling to pray while

  my mind wandered. Now I rarely have this problem. As my heart is nourished

  by the truth of the Word, I am brought into true fellowship with God. I

  speak to my Father and to my Friend (although I am unworthy) about the

  things that He has brought before me in His precious Word.

  —George Muller

• January 14, 2024The King Who Compels Us to Proclaim

  The Christian call to evangelism is a call not simply to persuade people to

  make decisions but rather to proclaim to them the Good News of salvation in

  Christ, to call them to repentance, and to give God the glory for

  regeneration and conversion. We don’t fail in our evangelism if we

  faithfully present the Gospel and yet the person is not converted; we fail

  only if we don’t faithfully present the Gospel at all.

  —Mark Dever

• January 07, 2024The Father Who Sends Workers To Seek Worshippers

  If a seminary graduate is of average gifts, we think he should pastor a

  church. If he has above-average gifts, we think he should pastor a large

  church. But if he has exceptional gifts, we think he should teach in

  seminary. I say in schools of theology that this is not the way it should

  be.

  In my view, the worst should teach, the more gifted men should pastor

  churches, and the very best should be missionaries. Paul and Barnabas were

  the best and they were missionaries.

  —James Boice

• December 31, 2023The Christ Who Makes All Things New

  If you have been truly born again you have a new and holy nature, and you

  are no longer moved towards sinful objects as you were before. The things

  that you once loved you now hate, and therefore you will not run after

  them. . . . The man who puts his trust in the Lord sees the pleasures of

  sin in a new light. . . . The flesh sees honey in the drink, but faith at

  once perceives that there is poison in the cup. Faith spies the snake in

  the grass and gives warning of it. Faith remembers death, judgment, the

  great reward, the just punishment and that dread word, eternity.

  — C. H. Spurgeon

• December 24, 2023The Glory of God in the Growth of the Church

  [God] had respect to himself, as his last and highest end, in this work;

  because he is worthy in himself to be so, being infinitely the greatest and

  best of beings. All things else, with regard to worthiness, importance, and

  excellence, are perfectly as nothing in comparison of him. All that is ever

  spoken in the Scripture as an ultimate end of God's works is included in

  that one phrase, the glory of God. 

  — Jonathan Edwards
