INSPIRATIE
LICHAMELIJKE ARBEID VERDRIJFT ZIEKTE UIT HET LICHAAM, EN TEVREDENHEID DRIJFT DE MOEITEN UIT HET HART.Thomas Watson (1620 – 1686) ...
Headhunting
Ook in refo-onderwijsland is het schieten onder andermans duiven geen onbekend fenomeen. En dan heb ik het niet over de steeds omvangrijker, kleurrijker en vooral kostenopdrijvende advertentiecampagnes in het RD, waar reeds door collega Bergacker op is gewezen. Alle uitwassen ten spijt, is het we ...
Glorifying God
"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." 1 Peter 4:11 Man's chief end is to ...
“When is the time that this King will deliver His people?”
When the hearts of His people are most humble, when their prayers are most fervent, when their faith is strongest, when their forces are weakest, when their enemies are highest—then is the usual time that Christ puts forth His kingly power for their deliverance.— Taken from Thomas Watson’s ...
Power
"We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 We shall consider, first, what things work for good to the godly; and here we shall show that both the best things and the worst things work fo ...
The Preacher
Christ and His qualifications The preacher was Jesus Christ, the best of preachers. “He went up.” It was He in whom there was a combination of virtues, a constellation of beauties; He whose lips were not only sweet as the honeycomb but did drop as the honeycomb. Hi ...
Zoals de engelen …
Thomas Watson spoort ons in zijn boek over het gebed aan om de wil van God te doen zoals de engelen dat doen. Wij kunnen hun niet helemaal gelijk zijn, maar toch moeten wij hun voorbeeld navolgen. Je kunt het vergelijken met een kind dat niet zo mooi kan schrijven als het voorbeeld, maar het tóch ...
The Mischief of Sin
See the text fulfilled this day in our eyes. Sin has brought our nation low. We are falling down, if not collapsed. We do not lack for sin. There is a spirit of wickedness in the land. Ours are mighty sins (Amos 5:12), bloody sins (Hosea 4:2). The sins of Denmark, Spain, Prance, and Italy are tra ...
Poor in Spirit
Our Lord Jesus, being come to raise a high and stately fabric of blessedness, lays the foundation of it low, in poverty of spirit. But all poverty is not blessed. I shall use a fourfold distinction.1.1 distinguish between “poor in estate” and “poor in spirit.” There are the devil's poor, p ...
Obedience
It is not enough to hear God’s voice, but we must obey. Obedience is a part of the honour we owe to God. “If then I be a Father, where is my honour?” (Malachi 1:6). Obedience carries in it the life-blood of religion. “Obey the voice of the Lord God,” and do His commandments. Obedience ...
