George Whitefield on Family
Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: Family, fathers | Posted On Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 10:00 AM
“And this is apparent, if we consider that every head of a family must look upon himself as obliged to act in three capacities—as a prophet, to instruct: as a priest, to pray for and with; as a king, to govern, direct, and provide for them. It is indeed true, that the latter of these, their kingly office, is one in which they are not so frequently deficient in, (no in this they are usually too attentive) but as for the former two, their priestly and prophetic office, they often ignore such things. But however indifferent some family leaders may be about it, they may be assured, that God will require of them a proper discharge of these offices. For if, as the apostle argues, “If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever;” to what greater degree of apostasy must he have committed, who has no thought to provide for the spiritual welfare of his family! “
George Whitefield

Ian Thomas on Christian Living
Posted by Antoinette Petersen | Labels: Christian LIfe, Major W. Iam Thomas | Posted On Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 9:00 AM
"The Christian life can be explained only in terms of Jesus Christ, and if your life as a Christian can still be explained in terms of you- your personality, your willpower, your gift, your talent, your money, your courage, your scholarship, your dedication, your sacrifice, or you anything- then although you may have the Christian life, you are not yet living it!"
~Major W. Ian Thomas~

"If I have observed anything by experience, it is this: a man may take the measure of his growth and decay in grace according to his thoughts and meditations upon the person of Christ, and the glory of Christ's Kingdom, and of His love."

Jeremiah Burroughs on Contentment
Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: Contentment, Jeremiah Burroughs | Posted On Monday, July 12, 2010 at 10:00 AM
"The great design God has in afflicting you is to break and humble your heart; and will you maintain a spirit quite opposite to the work of God? For you to murmur and be discontented is to resist the work of God. God is doing you good if you could see it and if He is pleased to sanctify your affliction to break that hard heart of yours and humble that proud spirit of yours, it would be the greatest mercy that you ever had in your life."
Jeremiah Burroughs
Stephen Charnock on Mercy and Grace
Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: Grace, Mercy, Stephen Charnock | Posted On Friday, July 9, 2010 at 10:00 AM
"The almightiness of his mercy doth as much transcend our highest iniquities, as it doth our shallowest apprehensions. Our sins, as well as our substance, are but as the dust of the balance, as easily to be blown away by his grace, as the other puffed into nothing by his power."
Cornelius Van Til on Christ
Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: Christ, Cornelius Van Til | Posted On Thursday, July 8, 2010 at 8:42 AM
"All of my life, my life in my family, my life in my church, my life in society, and my life in my vocation as a minister of the gospel and a teacher of Christian apologetics is unified under the banner Pro Rege! I am not a hero, but in Christ I am not afraid of what man may do to me. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the ongoing march of victory of the Christ to whom all power in heaven and on earth is given."
Cornelius Van Til

"An unholy church! It is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell’s laughter, heaven’s abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church."
Charles H. Spurgeon
John Flavel on Providence
Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: John Flavel, Providence | Posted On Monday, July 5, 2010 at 12:02 PM
“All the dark, intricate, puzzling providences, at which we are now sometimes so stumbled and sometimes amazed, which we can reconcile neither with the promise nor with each other, nay, which we so unjustly censure and bitterly bewail as if they had fallen out quite cross to our happiness, we shall then see to be unto us, as the difficult passage through the wilderness was unto Israel, " the right way to a city of habitation."
John Flavel

Thomas Watson on Assurance
Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: Assurance, Thomas Watson | Posted On Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 9:00 AM
"When God calls a man, He does not repent of it. God does not, as many friends do, love one day, and hate another; or as princes, who make their subjects favorites, and afterwards throw them into prison. This is the blessedness of a saint; his condition admits of no alteration. God's call is founded upon His decree, and His decree is immutable. Acts of grace cannot be reversed. God blots out His people's sins, but not their names."
Thomas Watson
