A Quest for Godliness (126)Apologetics0A Quest for Godliness (126)

The Ten Commandments, 44Law, Gospel0The Ten Commandments, 44
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.
Truth, Love0Grace is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over the joy in sin.
Gospel0To fear man is natural; to fear God is wholly supernatural.
Triumphing over Sinful Fear, 20Fear, Fear of God0Triumphing over Sinful Fear, 20

(Lasaunne conference)Suffering0(Lasaunne conference)

63 Volume Sermon Set - 1940.34Preaching063 Volume Sermon Set - 1940.34
Here is a simple but profound rule: if there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute. Society is left with one man or an elite filling the vacuum left by the loss of the Christian consensus which originally gave us form and freedom in northern Europe and in the West.
Society, Authority, Truth0Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.
Worship0Not grace to bar what is not bliss,
Nor flight from all distress, but this:
The grace that orders our trouble and pain,
And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.

Lectures to my StudentsPreaching0Lectures to my Students
God hath given us three books, which we ought to be studying whilst we are living: the book of conscience, the book of Scripture, and the book of the creature; in the book of conscience we may read ourselves, in the book of the creature we may read God, in the book of Scripture we may read both God and ourselves.
Nature, Scripture, Conscience0The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.
Purity, Unity, Church0Are you afraid of a man, Christian, when devils are afraid of you? The world ought to fear you, seeing as you will judge it.
Fear0Our immoderate love of life and its comforts and conveniences is another cause of sinful fear in times of danger. If we loved our lives less, we would fear and tremble less.
