John Flavel on Providence and Vocation

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 5:30 AM

“If any who fear God should complain, that although they have a calling, yet it is a hard laborious one, which takes up too much of their time which they would gladly employ in other and better work, I answer, that it is likely the wisdom of Providence foresaw this to be the most suitable and proper employment for you; and if you had more ease and rest, you might have more temptations than you now have.  The strength and time which are now taken up in your daily labours, in which you serve God, might otherwise have been spent on such lusts in which you might have served the devil.” 
John Flavel
(The Mystery of Providence, PG 77-78)

John Cotton on Vocation

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 9:00 AM

"A true Christian practices his vocation in the light of faith in the teaching of Jesus Christ.  It is God who calls upon Christians to seek out some worldly vocation or work.  Willful unemployment is a vice that reflects a condition of sin.  A warrantable calling that serves God aims at the public good.  A vocation is not a means to one's material self-interest but an opportunity and a vehicle to serve others."
John Cotton
