Somehow we have come to believe that children are a burden instead of a blessing. If our churches are going to stem the tide of cultural and moral decay, we must change our disposition toward children. We decry the work of abortionists but seldom say a word to the intentionally childless couples who slay even the possibility of life in the womb.Family Driven Faith

Discipling our children is not about teaching them to behave in a way that won't embarrass us. We're working toward something much more important than that. We're actually raising our children with a view toward leading them to trust and to follow Christ.Family Shepherds, Ch 3

no matter how good things get in this world, it's all Egypt! There will never be enough gold chains, fine linen, praise, adoration, or anything else to satisfy the yearning that God has placed in us. Only his presence in the Land of Promise will satisfy his people.Joseph and the Gospel of Many Colors: Reading an Old Story in a New Way

It is good to rest on the Sabbath-day from the works of our calling; but if we rest from labour and do no more, the ox and the ass keep the Sabbath as well as we; for they rest from labour. We must dedicate the day to God; we must not only 'keep a Sabbath,' but 'sanctify' a Sabbath.Ten Commandments, 100

Sabbath rest is not the post-eschaton Sabbath celebrated in heaven, nor the rest that believers experience in death, but a present rest enjoyed by those who believe (4:3), anticipating a greater future "rest" (4:11). Human Sabbath keeping is a metaphor for cessation from works (4:10) in commemoration of God's rest at creation (4:4=Gen. 2:2) and of salvation provided by Christ. The physical Sabbath rest that God's people enjoy reflects the inner spiritual rest, which is a deposit of the final eschatological rest proleptically experienced "today" (4:7)For the Glory of God (280)

I have to reckon up the abuses of the sabbath-day, or the sins committed against this commandment. It is transgressed by those who do not cease from evil works, but abuse the sabbath's rest to provoke fleshly pleasures. For they keep the sabbath to God, but they work to the devil, in gambling, 505 drinking, dancing, and feeding their inclinations 506 with the vanities of this world, whereby we are not only drawn from the company of the holy congregation, but we also defile our bodies, which we should rather sanctify and keep holy. Those sin against this precept, who either exercise any handy occupation on the sabbath-day, or else lie wrapped in bed and fast asleep till the day is almost spent, not once thinking to make one of God's congregationThe Decades https://www.monergism.com/decades-ebook

We know that the sabbath is ceremonial, so far as it is joined to sacrifices and other Jewish ceremonies, and so far as it is tied to a certain time. But considering that on the sabbath-day, religion and true godliness are exercised and published, and that a just and seemly order is kept in the church, and that the love of our neighbour is thereby preserved in it, I say that it is perpetual, and not ceremonial. Even today, truly, we must ease and bear with our family; and even today we must instruct our family in the true religion and fear of God. Christ our Lord nowhere scattered abroad the holy congregations, but as much as he could, he gathered them together. Now, as there ought to be an appointed place, so likewise must there be a prescribed time, for the outward exercise of religion, and consequently, for a holy rest.The Decades https://www.monergism.com/decades-ebook

On the seventh day we must think of the works that God did in six days: the children of God must call to remembrance what and how great are the benefits they have received the whole week — for which they must thank God, for which they must praise God, and by which they must learn God.The Decades https://www.monergism.com/decades-ebook

The argument that Jesus never addressed homosexuality isn't true. He addressed it in Matthew. You cannot separate Jesus from the Godhead. When God spoke it was Jesus speaking. When every book of the Bible is read, that is Jesus speaking.

The wisest man in the Bible fell into sexual sin, the strongest man in the Bible fell to sexual sin, and the godliest man in the Bible fell to sexual sin. For me to think I'm above falling into this sin is to think that I'm wiser than Solomon, stronger than Samson, and godlier than King David.

Hell will be filled with people who didn't drink, didn't cuss, and may have even been baptized. Why? Because not one of those things make someone a Christian.

When Jesus so firmly upholds the commandments in various speeches and encounters (e.g. Matt. 4:10; 5:21-37; 15:4, 19) it is reasonable to expect that he might have been equally frank about the Sabbath if it was no more to be enjoyed. Neither Jesus nor the Gospels are ambiguous about Sabbath. The ambiguity in this case, which is beyond 'slight', is produced by the contributors' anachronistic anti-Sabbatarian framework.From the Finger of God, 172-173

if you throw it out and become a non-commandment person and you don't have the fourth Commandment then how do you justify having a moral obligation to treat your employees a certain way because whenever Paul or Peter talk about the treatment of servants? It is rooted and grounded in the morality of the fourth Commandment.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90YOm0y5EEk
