A pat on the back for the encouraging of sin is but a soft blow of the wrath of God.
"It is well when men are punished for their sins in time and not in eternity; so that we may properly confess, and bewail, and forsake, and obtain pardon for them all." - W.S. Plumer
Be watchful over your soul. There are many in our day, as in the days of Haggai, where one's outward piety masks an inner indifference to the Lord. (Sinclair Ferguson)
The Lord is a refuge for our weary souls. What a relief it is to rest in Him.
Preaching on Psalm 79 this coming Lord's Day. Would appreciate prayer for fruit.
"A gracious soul is thankful and rejoices that he is drawn nearer to God, though it be by the cords of affliction. When it goes well with him, he praises God's mercy; when it goes badly with him, he magnifies God's justice." - Thomas Watson

If there is such a thing as a Christian music label, before they take on an artist or band, they should ask what church they're members of, and have regular talks with their pastor.
Coming soon! The first systematic theology from a particular Baptist (1657). 500 pages of pure gold. Though this was a lot of work, it has been an immense encouragement to me. Hopefully there will be enough interest in this that we can publish it as a hardback.
2 Samuel ch 22 v. 29 "For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness."
"Unbridled religious pluralism ultimately reduces to agnosticism." - Gannon Murphy.
"The moralist's religion is all in the leaf; it consists only in externals, but godliness is a holy sap which is rooted in the soul." - Thomas Watson
The word of Christ indwelling us richly helps suppress indwelling sin.
2 Samuel 12. Brothers, we must never despise when the Lord sends a Nathan into our lives. It is for our good.
The more we understand God’s sovereignty, the more our prayers will be filled with thanksgiving. —@RCSproul
Jesus’ first words to disciples who had all betrayed him: “Peace be with you” (Jn 20:19). He had dealt with their sin, and would remember it no more.
