The set time of Arabia's calamity. Isaiah 21 Preface - The apostle fortelleth the appearance of false teachers, the impiety of them and their followers, and the judgments that would overtake them. The godly shall be delivered, as Lot was out of Sodom. The wicked principles and manners of these seducers described. The mischief of relapsing into sin. 2 Peter 2 Daily Light - Morning Take heed unto thyself. Every man that strveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness o fthis world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. - For as many are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. - Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 1 Tim. 4.16; 1 Co. 9.25-27; Eph. 6.11-12 Ga. 5.24-25; Ro. 8.14; 1 Tim. 4.15 Daily Light - EveningFear not: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. - The sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name...and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. - We have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God. Thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel... And Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial... And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment... And thou shalt set in it settings of stones... And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel... And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. Jn. 20.16; Isa. 43.1; Jn. 10.3,4 Isa. 49.16 2 Tim. 2.19; He. 4.14 Ex. 28.9,12,15,17,21,29 A Puritans Catechism Q 73 - How is the Word made effectual to salvation? A - The Spirit of God makes the reading, but especially the preaching of the Word, an effectual means of convicting, and converting sinners, and of building them up in holiness and comfort through faith to salvation. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of God's Covenant Chapter 7 PARAGRAPH 3 This covenant is revealed in the gospel; first of all to Adam in the promise of salvation by the seed of the woman,5 and afterwards by farther steps, until the full discovery thereof was completed in the New Testament;6 and it is founded in that eternal covenant transaction that was between the Father and the Son about the redemption of the elect;7 and it is alone by the grace of this covenant that all the posterity of fallen Adam that ever were saved did obtain life and blessed immortality, man being now utterly incapable of acceptance with God upon those terms on which Adam stood in his state of innocency.8 5 Gen. 3:15 6 Heb. 1:1 7 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 1:2 8 Heb. 11;6,13; Rom. 4:1–2; Acts 4:12; John 8:56 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A Golden saying And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. - Revelation 14 v 13 Blessed are the dead. Learn the value of this saying. It is a golden saying - there is gold in every syllable of it. It is sweeter than honey and the honeycomb, more precious than gold, yea, much fine gold. It is precious in the eyes of God. Write it deep in your hearts; it will solemnise your life, and will keep you from being led away by its vain show. It will make the syren songs of this world inconvenient and out of tune; it will sweetly soothe you in the hour of adversity; it will rob death of its sting, and the grave of its victory. Write, write deep on your heart, 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.'
