The pain of our shattered plans is for the purpose of scattered grace. Suffering and the Sovereignty of God(106)
The best trees have a winter, wherein they seem to be dead and barren, yet they have their life and sap at that time remaining in the root.

The life of religion, and the welfare and glory of both the Church and the State, depend much on family government and duty. If we suffer the neglect of this, we shall undo all.
If the faith of one individual were in danger of being overturned (for we are speaking of the perdition of a single soul redeemed by the blood of Christ), the pastor should immediately gird himself for the combat; how much less tolerable is it to see whole houses overturned?
I know senior pastors who have been voted into churches before their wives entered the door. How could we possibly be serious about elders modeling biblical family life to the benefit of their flock if an evaluation of the elder's home and family is never approached?Family Shepherds, 32-33
God did not give the Ten Commandments as a new law. Instead, He codified His already revealed standard of righteousness, which He had written on the human heart of Adam and all of his offspring.
the law of God must be perpetual from its very nature.
The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.
We must realize that Christianity is the easiest religion in the world, because it is the only religion in which God the Father and Christ and the Holy Spirit do everything. God is the Creator; we have nothing to do with our existence, or the existence of other things. We can shape other things, but we cannot change the fact of existence. We do nothing for our salvation because Christ did it all. We do not have to do anything. In every other religion we have to do something... but with Christianity we do not do anything; God has done it all: He has created us and He has sent His Son; His Son died and because the Son is infinite, therefore he bears our total guilt. We do not need to bear our guilt, nor do we even have to merit the merit of Christ. He does it all. So in one way it is the easiest religion in the world.
God in our nature, and doing all for us, and being all to us, free grace reigning through His imputed righteousness, God's free grant of Christ and His salvation, and of Himself in Christ, and the believing appropriation founded on that grant, and the comfort and holiness of heart and life flowing from that, have been my most delightful themes.Robert Mackenzie - John Brown of Haddington, 108
Be short in the pulpit and the family; in the closet you may be as long as you pleaseRobert Mackenzie - John Brown of Haddington, 107

The most plausible explanation for the origin of infant baptism is found in the emergency baptism of sick children expected to die soon so that they would be assured of entrance into the kingdom of heaven.Baptism in the Early Church : History, Theology , and Liturgy in the First Five Centuries (Eerdmans, 2009), 856
There is general agreement that there is no firm evidence for infant baptism before the latter part of the second century.Baptism in the Early Church : History, Theology , and Liturgy in the First Five Centuries (Eerdmans, 2009)
The 11th Commandment is 'Thou Shalt Be Nice,' and we don't believe the other Ten.
Regeneration was a momentary monergistic act of quickening the spiritually dead. As such, it was God's work alone. Sanctification, however, is in one sense synergistic -it is an ongoing, cooperative process in which regenerate persons, alive to God and freed from sin's dominion (Rom. 6:11, 14-18), are required to exert themselves in sustained obedience.Concise Theology
Regeneration is birth; sanctification is growth. In regeneration, God implants desires that were not there before: desire for God, for holiness, and for the hallowing and glorifying of God's name in this world;Concise Theology
