“Happy were it, if puzzled & perplexed Christians would turn their eyes from the defects that are in their obedience, to the fullness and completeness of Christ’s obedience; and see themselves complete in Him, when most lame and defective in themselves.”
—John Flavel, Works 1.59

Brothers and sisters, “As sure as the Bible is true, God will not leave you.”
- Charles Spurgeon
“There are pastors... that when they preach, many people who are Christians, real Christians, bruised-reed Christians, smoldering-wick Christians, they sit there and think, ‘I don’t even know if I’m saved.’ That’s an awful sermon. That’s not a Christian sermon.” @nocoradio

“God's grace doesn't work to accept deficient works as adequate… Rather, God's grace does what our works are unable to do.” @PastorPerks @Theo4church

“The God of classical theology is not a God at our beck and call, existing primarily to meet our needs. He is good in himself, and that alone is reason enough to worship him.”
–– Carl R. Trueman, Classical Theology for the Modern Mind, 59.
"The glorious, objective work of Christ for us was at the heart of all apostolic ministry in announcing the forgiveness of sins to all who rest and receive Christ and his benefits by faith alone."
–– Chris Gordon (@agradio1)

Many Christian teachers treat the good news as though it’s bad news for Christian obedience, when in fact it’s the 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 thing that enables Christian obedience.

“‘We were well instructed, but we feel poorly nourished.’
“Their phrasing stuck me as an apt analysis of one pitfall in preaching—
“exposition that is no more than educational instruction but never reaches the affections.”
— Sinclair Ferguson

“The Reformed exegetical tradition, then, saw the principles of law and gospel as a thoroughly biblical doctrine.”
— Harrison Perkins (@PastorPerks)
"Only Christ can satisfy the soul. All other ways and things will only end in disappointment."
–– John Owen
“Worship that is an act of obedience to God is simultaneously defiance of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Our songs and prayers remind us that the focus of our battle isn't physical and earthly but spiritual and heavenly.”

There is no true believing or trusting to the report of the gospel, but what is the effect of the working of a divine power on the soul for that end.

“I supposed it very necessary to put you in remembrance of certain points, which are: that ye well understand what these words mean…
Deeds and faith; Lest we ascribe to the one that which belongeth to the other,
and make of Christ Moses,
of the gospell the Law,
despise grace and rob faith:
and fall from meek learning unto idle despicions, brawling and scolding about words.”
- William Tyndale

“As God is the first and final cause of all things in the order of being, the doctrine of God is the first and final doctrine in the Reformed system of theology.
All other doctrines are derived from the doctrine of God. All other doctrines are ordered to the glory of God's name.
The governing rule of Reformed systematic theology is this: ‘From him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen’ (Rom. 11:36).”
- Scott Swain
“Sunday worship is the joy-filled journey to heavenly Jerusalem, where men, women, and children from every tribe, tongue, and nation assemble at the feet of Jesus to receive not common but celestial gifts.”

Many thanks to @RScottClark for the thoughtful gift of Remembering the Reformed Confession: Essays on Theology, Piety, and Practice, edited by @PastorPerks.
I’m looking forward to reading this collection and sharing a review on Reformed Dogmatika!
Justification is not sanctification; it is an old Popish error, sown in the heart of a great many Protestants, to think they are the same.
Justification and sanctification are always inseparable, but they are wonderfully distinct.
—Puritan Robert Traill, Works 2:403
“It’s shocking how many pastors have detailed views on geopolitical or cultural matters, but aren’t sure if the Nicene Creed is biblical.” @SteveMeisterVDM
Horton is right. It’s shocking how many pastors have detailed views on geopolitical or cultural matters, but aren’t sure if the Nicene Creed is biblical.
“It is amazing what a lot of Christians (including many pastors) seem absolutely certain about and what they regard as up in the air.
Although there is not a single passage in the Bible that tells us what Jesus would do on a whole host of personal and social issues of morality, economics, politics, and law, we often hear confident jeremiads and assertions by the same people who express ambiguity (disguised as humility) about matters clearly addressed and treated as matters of great importance in Scripture.”
- Michael Horton
