In his time Samaria is taken, and Israel carried away captive for their sins. Sennacherib invadeth Judah, and receiveth the appointed tribute from Hezekiah. He sendeth Rab-shakeh, who insulteth Hezekiah, and in a blasphemous speech soliciteth the people to revolt 2 Kings 18 Preface - The salutation. Paul declareth his joy in hearing of the love and faith of Philemon; earnestly entreating him to receive into his favour his once fugitive servant Onesimus, now become a faithful Christian. He desireth him to provide a lodging for himself, who was in expectation of a speedy release; and concludeth with salutations and a benediction. Philemon Daily Light - Morning Take thou also unto thee principal spices.... And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment. Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. - One Spirit. - Diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. - God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Gost and with power. - God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. Of his fulness have all we received. - As the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. - He which....hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Ex. 30.23,25; Ex. 30.32; Eph. 4.4; 1 Co. 12.4 Ps. 45.7; Ac. 10.38; Jn. 3.34 Jn. 3.34 Jn. 1.16; 1 Jn. 2.27; 2 Co. 1.21-22 Ga. 5.22-23 Daily Light - Evening The fashion of this world passeth away. all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: but the rich, in that he is made ow: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. - For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. - The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. - When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should over-take you as a thief. 1 Co. 7.31; Ge. 5.27 Jas. 1.9-11; Jas. 4.14; 1 Jn. 2.17 Ps. 39.4; 1 Th. 5.3-4 A Puritans Catechism Q76 - To whom is Baptism to be administered? A - Baptism is to be administered to all those who actually profess repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and to none other. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 5 The Lord Jesus, by His perfect obedience and sacrifice of Himself, which He through the eternal Spirit once offered up to God, has fully satisfied the justice of God,32 procured reconciliation, and purchased an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, for all those whom the Father has given unto Him.33 32 Heb. 9:14, 10:14; Rom. 3:25–26 32 John 17:2; Heb. 9:15 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Chosen According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Ephesians 1 v 4 So brethren, it was before the foundation of the world that Christ chose His own; when there was neither sun nor moon; when there was neither sea no land - it was from the beginning. Ah, He might well say you have not chosen me. It was before man loved man, or angel loved angel, that Christ chose His own. Now, I know the meaning of Paul when he says, That you may be able to know the length and breadth, the height and the depth of the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge. Now, I am not surprised at the death of Christ! It was a love so great that it broke over the banks that held it in; a love that broke over a Calvary and a Gethsemane. O brethren! do you know this love?
