Sunday Give thanks to God for His character, perfect, unchangeable, the same yesterday today and forever. Give thanks to God that we can meet in the church and have fellowship with one another.

The bad character of the Cretians. 1 Titus 1 Daily Light - Morning Ever follow that which is good. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again....but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. - Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 1 Th. 5.15; 1 Pe. 2.21-23; He. 12.3 He. 12.1-2 Phil. 4.8 Daily Light - Evening The mighty God. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. And in thy majesty ride prospertously because of truth and meekness and righteousness.... Thy throne, O god, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. - Thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty. - The man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afriad: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. - Thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Isa. 9.6; Ps. 45.2-4,6; Ps. 89.19; Zech. 13.7 Isa. 12.2; 2 Co. 2.14 Jude 24-25 A Puritans Catechism Q 73 - How is the Word to be read and heard that it may become effectual to salvation?

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 2 The Son of God, the second person in the Holy Trinity, being very and eternal God, the brightness of the Father's glory, of one substance and equal with Him who made the world, who upholds and governs all things He has made, did, when the fullness of time was complete, take upon Him man's nature, with all the essential properties and common infirmities of it,9 yet without sin;10 being conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit coming down upon her: and the power of the Most High overshadowing her; and so was made of a woman of the tribe of Judah, of the seed of Abraham and David according to the Scriptures;11 so that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures were inseparably joined together in one person, without conversion, composition, or confusion; which person is very God and very man, yet one Christ, the only mediator between God and man.12 9 John 1:14; Gal. 4;4 10 Rom. 8:3; Heb. 2:14,16–17, 4:15 11 Matt. 1:22–23 12 Luke 1:27,31,35; Rom. 9:5; 1 Tim. 2:5 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Busy I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9 v 4 Our Lord went about continually doing good; He made it His meat and drink. 'Daily in the temple.' So should we. Satan is busy at all times - he does not stand upon ceremony - he does not keep himself to Sabbath days or canonical hours. Death is busy. Men are dying while we are sleeping. About fifty die every minute; nearly one every second entering into an unchangeable world! The Spirit of God is busy. Blessed be God He hath cast our lot in times when there is the moving of the Great Spirit among the dry bones. Shall ministers then be idle, or stand upon ceremony? O that God would baptise us this day with the Holy Ghost and with fire, that we might be all changed as into a flame of fire, preaching and building up Christ's Church till our latest, our dying hour.
