Thomas Watson on the Sixth Petition of the Lord’s Prayer

July 11, 2015

  For Lord’s Day, July 12, 2015 Dear Saints, Tomorrow evening we will conclude the Westminster Larger Catechism with the conclusion to the Lord’s Prayer (Q&A 196). For a change, I won’t be sharing any quotes from Thomas Watson’s commentary on it during the evening sermon. But I’d like to give you some more nuggets […]

Heaven Rejoices When You Repent

July 4, 2015

  (Image source: https://newwaysministryblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/dbb2a-jump_for_joy_910.jpg) For Lord’s Day, July 5, 2015 Dear Saints, Like a father and mother and grandfather and grandmother and uncle and aunt and brother and sister rejoiced in the hospital at your birth, so did the angels celebrate in heaven when you were spiritually delivered.  And so they do every time you are […]

Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death

June 27, 2015

For Lord’s Day, June 28, 2015 Dear Saints, With the egregious Supreme Court decision about gay marriage now forced upon our land, here are a few things to be thinking about. First, while some of the rhetoric of the LGBT movement is to no longer be held back by the past, this is nothing new or […]

May 23, 2015

  For Lord’s Day, May 24, 2015 Dear Saints, Yesterday, the same day that Mike and Erin (now the Delgados!) vowed before God and all of you to live in exclusive, life-long covenant faithfulness to one another, the New York Times ran an opinion piece that suggests it may not be biologically realistic to expect […]

May 16, 2015

For Lord’s Day, May 17, 2015 Dear Saints, Motivated by the church’s recent Homemaker’s movie night, we began reading John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress for family worship.  We are making a point to look up a Scripture that summarizes each vivid part.  The beginning of the story drew our souls back once more to Matthew 7:13-14: Enter […]

The Narrow Way is Always Obvious

May 9, 2015

For Lord’s Day, May 10, 2015 Dear Saints, At our Homemakers Movie Night last month, something really stood out to me as helpful for our own Christian Pilgrimage that I’d like to review with you.  In the modern retelling of Pilgrim’s Progress, “Journey to Heaven”, a great pearl of wisdom was shared for how to make […]

Children Reflect Their Parents

April 11, 2015

For Lord’s Day, April 12, 2015 Dear Saints, We had a hearty chuckle yesterday afternoon as I was getting ready to mow the lawn.  Isaac (nearly 2, going on 22), became hilariously excited, making driving motions with his arms and uttering engine noises with his voice to indicate that HE too was going to be […]
