Readings
Preface-Joshua dismisseth the two tribes and half with a blessing and a share of spoil. On their journey they build the altar of testimony.
The other tribes are offended thereat, and send to demand satisfaction. The two tribes and half vindicate their conduct. The deputies are satisfied.
Their report satisfieth the people that sent them.
Joshua 22
Preface-The descent of the Holy Ghost upon the apostles on the day of Pentecost: they speak various languages to the general amazement,
but some deride them. Peter sheweth that the inspiration spoken of by Joel was now fulfilled; that Jesus, whom they had crucified,
was now risen from the dead, and ascended into heaven, according to David's prediction, and had shed forth the promise of the
Holy Spirit in full proof of his being the Messias. A great number are converted by Peter's preaching; who, being baptized,
converse devoutly and charitably together, the apostles working many miracles, and God daily increasing the church.
Acts 2

A Puritans Catechism
Q18-What is the misery of that state whereinto man fell?
A-All mankind by their fall, lost communion with God, are under his wrath and curse, and so made liable to all the miseries in this life,
to death itself, and to the pains of hell forever.

The stream of grace
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water - John 7 v 38
The Holy Spirit is an imperishable stream. It is not like those rivers of which you have heard, which flow through barren sands till they
sink into the earth and disappear. Not so the stream of grace. When it flows from Jesus Christ, it flows into many a barren heart;
but it is never lost there. It appears again - it flows forth from that heart in revers of living water. When a soul is brought to believe on Jesus,
and to drink in the Spirt, it often appears as if the Spirit were lost in that soul. The stream flows into such a barren heart, that it is long before
it makes its appearance; but it is never lost. The Scripture must be fulfilled; 'He that believeth on me, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.'
