There is something, even in the hearts of the most eminent saints, that will never be fully satisfied as long as they are on earth and Christ is in heaven. —J.C. Ryle

All that Christ did had the nature of merit in it, and was part of the price with which he purchased happiness for the elect. —Jonathan Edwards

The blood of the Savior’s circumcision is as much atoning blood for us as is the blood shed on Golgotha. His entire life was a continual suffering. —Geerhardus Vos

Every Lord’s Day is a reminder to our souls that the Lord “hast not forsaken them that seek [Him]” (Ps. 9:10).

God never did, nor ever will, disown or desert any that duly seek to him and trust in him. Though he afflict them, he will not leave them comfortless; though he seem to forsake them for a while, yet he will gather them with everlasting mercies. —Matthew Henry

Reflections on 9/11, penned by @RCSproul on the tenth anniversary.

The Charlotte Hornets jacket was without question the best.

Grab a copy of ‘Provide and Protect.’ @BrianCosby18 has done the church—and fathers in particular—a great service with this timely and timeless book.

Hasty and frequent theological shifts are often (though not always) a mark of immaturity. A person becomes dissatisfied, discovers a new theological system, embraces it enthusiastically, and then soon moves on to another, because each new position promises to resolve the frustrations left by the last one. Of course, semper reformanda. We should always be willing to have our thinking corrected by Scripture. But frequent and hasty theological shifts can expose discontent, impatience (even with others), wounded pride, or the desire to find a church or tradition that perfectly conforms to us, even as the “us” to which it must conform is itself an ever-changing target. Maturity tends to make us more settled, patient, charitable, and slow to speak. It does not mean we stop reforming; it means we become less restless in the process. Truth should make us steadfast, not perpetually unsettled; courageous, not contentious.

Concerning head coverings and 1 Corinthians 11: Paul appeals to creation, not merely to Corinthian culture. That makes head coverings much harder to dismiss than many Christians assume. The burden of proof rests heavily on those who deny any abiding rule.
