0456 - Why Worry When God Is Near? (Philippians 4:6-7)

0456 - Why Worry When God Is Near? (Philippians 4:6-7)

"But healing is not God's plan for everyone in this life. And there are many other ways to waste our cancer. As I prayed for myself, and continue to do so, I also pray for you that we will not waste this pain. That God knows, and cares, and rules, is enough. The passage of Scripture that came to my mind while I waited for the biopsy was 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10, 'God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.' That is enough. I am not destined for wrath, but to live with Christ. Until we see him, may God help us not waste our health or our cancer."

—John Piper

O Lord set a fire in my soul

0451 - Safeguarding Against Legalism & Rejoicing in Christ (Philippians 3:1-7)

"A legalist is anyone who behaves as if they can earn God's forgiveness through personal performance ... a danger that we'll never outgrow in this lifetime. The tendency for legalism exists for each of us each and every day—because of the pride and self-righteousness in our indwelling sin."

—C. J. Mahaney

0447 - The Epitome of Humility

0447 - The Epitome of Humility

"There are two things that are suited to humble the souls of men... A due consideration of God, and then of ourselves. Of God, in his greatness, glory, holiness, power, majesty, and authority; of ourselves, in our mean, abject and sinful condition." 

—C. J. Mahaney

Dec 31, 202147:43
0338 - Displaying God's Wisdom through the Gospel for All the World to See

0338 - Displaying God's Wisdom through the Gospel for All the World to See

“Friend, what are you looking for in a church? Good music? A happening atmosphere? A traditional order of service? How about: a group of pardoned rebels . . . whom God wants to use to display his glory . . . before all the heavenly host . . . because they tell the truth about him . . . and look increasingly just like him - holy, loving, united?”
—Mark Dever

Dec 24, 202101:01:36
0337 - Proclaiming the Truth through Preaching and Teaching God's Word

0337 - Proclaiming the Truth through Preaching and Teaching God's Word

“God’s Word has always been His chosen instrument to create, convict, convert, and conform His people. From the very first announcement of the Gospel in Genesis 3:15, to the initial word of promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, to His regulation of that promise by His Word in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20), God gives life and health and holiness to His people through the agency of His Word. From the reforms under Josiah in 2 Kings 22-23, to the revival of God’s work under Nehemiah and Ezra in Nehemiah 8-9, to the great vision of the Valley of Dry Bones in Ezekiel 37:1-14, where God breaths the life of His Spirit into His dead people through the preaching of His Word, God always sends His Word when He wants to renew life in His people and assemble them for His glory.”
—Mark Dever

Dec 17, 202156:37
0336 - Advancing through Evangelism and Missions

0336 - Advancing through Evangelism and Missions

“The fact is, most people come to faith through the influence of family members, small-group Bible studies, or a conversation with a friend after a church service: Christians intentionally talking about the gospel.”
—Mack Stiles

Dec 10, 202101:04:44
0335 - Edifying the Body through Its Gifts

0335 - Edifying the Body through Its Gifts

“The emphasis is definitely on the ministry of gifted individuals who lead the church into unity. Christ not only gives gifts to the church; He gives people to the church for its edification and growth.”
—Tim Berrey

Dec 03, 202156:21
0334 - Responding to God's Goodness and Greatness through Worship

0334 - Responding to God's Goodness and Greatness through Worship

"Truth without emotion produces dead orthodoxy and a church full (or half full) of artificial admirers (like people who write generic anniversary cards for a living). On the other hand, emotion without truth produces empty frenzy and cultivates shallow people who refuse the discipline of rigorous thought. But true worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine. Strong affections for God rooted in truth are the bone and marrow of biblical worship."
— John Piper

Nov 26, 202152:54
0333 - Regularly Confessing and Forgiving the Sins of One Another

0333 - Regularly Confessing and Forgiving the Sins of One Another

“It might seem that life will be easier if we take the timid path of avoiding certain uncomfortable truths or winking at selected sins, but we always reap what we sow.... If we avoid confrontation, we’ll just get confrontation anyway, because sin unaddressed is sin unconfined. In an attempt to preserve peace, we sow war.”
—Dave Harvey

Nov 19, 202151:36

0332 - Maintaining Unity even through Diversity

0229 - Praising God for His Grace (1 Peter 5:10-14)

“I hope this New Year will bring many new blessings to you. The Lord is good. He has delivered—He does deliver—He will deliver. Oh, what an Altar, Atonement, Temple, Priest! What a Sun and Shield! What a Savior and what a Shepherd have we!” - John Newton

Oct 07, 202101:10:41
0227 - Practicing Humility with One Another before God (1 Peter 5:5-7)

0227 - Practicing Humility with One Another before God (1 Peter 5:5-7)

"Smooth relations in the church can be preserved if the entire congregation adorns itself with humility. When believers recognize that they are creatures and sinners, they are less apt to be offended by others. Humility is the oil that allows relationships in the church to run smoothly and lovingly. Pride gets upset when another does not follow our own suggestions.... Believers should heed the injunction to be humble because God sets his face against the proud, but he lavishes his grace upon the humble. Those who submit to God's sovereignty in humility will find that he will lift them up and reward them." - Thomas Schreiner

Sep 23, 202152:11
0226 - Shepherding God's Flock (1 Peter 5:1-4)

0226 - Shepherding God's Flock (1 Peter 5:1-4)

"I heard a pastor say that the most important characteristic for a church leader is humility. He went on to identify the second most important characteristic: humility. The third? You can probably guess." - Jeramie Rinne

Sep 16, 202154:24
0225 - Responding to Trials for God's Glory (1 Peter 4:12-19)

0225 - Responding to Trials for God's Glory (1 Peter 4:12-19)

“Since your Majesty and your lordships desire a simple reply, I will answer without horns and without teeth. Unless I am convicted by Scriptures and plain reason—I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other—my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.” - Martin Luther

Sep 09, 202153:16
0224 - Living in Light of Christ's Return (1 Peter 4:7-11)

0224 - Living in Light of Christ's Return (1 Peter 4:7-11)

"It is the property of true charity to cover a multitude of sins. It inclines people to forgive and forget offenses against themselves, to cover and conceal the sins of others, rather than aggravate them and spread them abroad. It teaches us to love those who are but weak, and who have been guilty of many evil things before their conversion; and it prepares for mercy at the hand of God, who hath promised to forgive those that forgive others." - Matthew Henry

Sep 02, 202101:05:21

0221 - Suffering for the Sake of Righteousness (1 Peter 3:13-17)

0221 - Suffering for the Sake of Righteousness (1 Peter 3:13-17)

"Anthropologists have observed that immigrants and refugees sometimes have a greater love for their national identity and a greater commitment to cultural preservation than those who remain in the homeland. That’s because when you have everything stripped away, you cling to what makes you who you are. We too, as we experience increased isolation and shame in our country of origin, have an opportunity to embrace the foreignness that comes with being like God and a citizen of his kingdom." - Elliott Clark

Aug 12, 202101:06:41

0219 - Pursuing Counter-Cultural Manhood and Womanhood in Marraige (1 Peter 3:1-7)

0219 - Pursuing Counter-Cultural Manhood and Womanhood in Marraige (1 Peter 3:1-7)

"Ultimately, all of this is glorifying to God. He has sent His Son to die for sinners, and he has set up marriage to reflect that reality. When we understand this, we realize that marriage exists even more for God than it does for us. God has ultimately designed marriage not to satisfy our needs but to display his glory in the gospel. When we realize this, we recognize that if we want to declare the gospel, we must defend marriage."

- David Platt

Jul 29, 202101:11:27
0218 - Submitting to Earthly Masters (1 Peter 2:18-25)

0218 - Submitting to Earthly Masters (1 Peter 2:18-25)

“Remember your Savior—His grief and His pain,
The lonely affliction, unmerited shame.
Though you had betrayed Him, He died in your place;
The joy set before Him He offers by grace.
Remember your Father—His promise, His love:

I’ll never forsake you, this pain will not break you,
For I will remake you for unending joy;
My promise is faithful though now it is painful;
No power can trample my covenant love.”

- David Ward

Jul 22, 202101:00:60
0217 - Submitting to Civil Authority in the Midst of Persecution (1 Peter 2:13-17)

0217 - Submitting to Civil Authority in the Midst of Persecution (1 Peter 2:13-17)

"An act of resistance or disobedience to the government authority is really an act of disobedience against God. Whether we realize it or not, all the separate authorities in our lives have been placed there by God: 'there is no power but of God.' It can be applied in every area where the Lord has placed a constituted authority, be it in government, the home, the office, or the church."

- Dennis Potts

That turns my gaze from Your glory.
Your Holy Spirit dwells within;
His presence arms me for victory."

- Brian Pinner and Paul Keew

0215 - Praising God's Excellencies as Christ's New Covenant People (1 Peter 2:9-10)

"Standing before the cross we see simultaneously our worth and unworthiness, since we perceive both the greatness of his love in dying, and the greatness of our sin in causing him to die."

- John Stott

Jul 01, 202158:10
0214 - Identifying with Christ as Living Stones, Temple, and Priesthood (1 Peter 2:4-8)

0214 - Identifying with Christ as Living Stones, Temple, and Priesthood (1 Peter 2:4-8)

"When our fellowship is not simply a network of loose Christian relationships, but anchored in a particular 'covenant community' as committed members together in a local outpost of Christ's kingdom, we come closest to experiencing what those first Christians did, when people didn't just drift in and out of the community, but were either in or out--and those who were in were pledged to be the church for each other through thick and thin. Covenant community is like Christian marriage in that it is within the framework of stated commitments and promised allegiances that life in relationship is guarded, nourished, and encouraged most to thrive."

- David Mathis

0211 - Fearing God in the Midst of Suffering (1 Peter 1:17-21)

"Only in the light of God's holiness and majesty do I truly understand how puny, how vicious, and how pathetic I naturally am. In other words, I do not have a true knowledge of myself if I do not fear God."
- Michael Reeves

0210 - Living in Hope and Holiness (1 Peter 1:13-16)

0210 - Living in Hope and Holiness (1 Peter 1:13-16)

“To be a saint means to be separated. But it means more than that. The saint also is to be involved in a vital process of sanctification. We are to be purified daily in the growing pursuit of holiness. If we are justified, we must also be sanctified.”

― R. C. Sproul

0209 - Considering the Promised Salvation in Times of Suffering (1 Peter 1:10-12)

“If your face is now covered with sorrow, the time will come when you will bless God for that sorrow. The day will come when you will see great gain from your losses, your crosses, your troubles, and your affliction. From your affliction, this glory shall spring, and the deeper your sorrow the louder you’ll sing.”

— Charles Haddon Spurgeon

0208 - Rejoicing in Salvation (1 Peter 1:6-9)

0208 - Rejoicing in Salvation (1 Peter 1:6-9)

"Never has it been so easy to live in half a dozen harmless worlds at once — art, music, social science, games, motoring, the following of some profession, and so on. And between them we run the risk of drifting about, the good hiding the best. It is easy to find out whether our lives are focused, and if so, where the focus lies. Where do our thoughts settle when consciousness comes back in the morning? Where do they swing back when the pressure is off during the day? Dare to have it out with God, and ask Him to show you whether or not all is focused on Christ and His Glory. Turn your soul's vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him."

— Lilias Trotter

Set apart to serve His Son,
Sanctified by His own Spirit—
Praise the Holy Three in One!
Saved by resurrection power,
Shielded in His faithful love;
Now, no enemy can tarnish
My inheritance above!"

— Paul Keew

While Your hand withholds the answer, I will not withhold my heart.
