“We must not undervalue the ordinary means of grace…real friends of revivals in religion ought to be upon their guard against the confident allegation, that the preaching of…new opinions is alone favorable to revivals; & that…old orthodoxy cannot hope to be…useful.” S. Miller
O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.
Let us look to him, and be comforted against every adverse threatening. Afflictions cannot overwhelm us; the law cannot curse us; enemies cannot injure us. ‘Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.’—William Jay
"Religion without learning, or learning without religion, in the ministers of the gospel, must ultimately prove injurious to the Church."--Princeton Plan Necessary = both learnedness and piety, confessionalism and experience, theology and practice.
I loved talking with @MeltonDuncan and @brothernelson about Paul Settle. This was just delightful fun!
Paul Settle was a founding father of the #pcaga worth knowing and emulating. Listen as @Helopoulos and @MeltonDuncan share their reflections on @PolityMatters this week.
This was a fun conversation with a dear brother

My kind of rail line!

False teachers are notable in casting dirt, scorn, and reproach upon the persons, names, and credits of Christ's most faithful ambassadors. ~ Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices @banneroftruth HT: @manorjuan

My new book “Presbyterianism” from @prpbooks is available for purchase at #PCAGA in the PCA Bookstore.
It has been a “Presbyterian” kind of week: (1) Westminster Abbey (London, England) (2) spared in God’s providence (3) Off to General Assembly with my daughter (who contends that one is only a true Presbyterian once they have attended GA 😂)
