“Part of saving faith is the assurance that you
will have faith tomorrow. Trusting Christ today includes trusting him to give
you tomorrow’s trust when tomorrow comes. Often we feel like our reservoir of
strength is not going to last for another day. The fact is, it won’t. Today’s
resources are for today, and part of those resources is the confidence that new
resources will be given tomorrow.” -- John Piper in A Godward Life

For the Lord's Day
Trust is not
a passive state of mind. It is a vigorous act of the soul by which we choose to
lay hold on the promises of God and cling to them despite the adversity that at
times seeks to overwhelm us.” Psalm 56:3 “When I am afraid, I will trust in you.”

For the Lord's Day
“Until
our consciences are bound by Scripture so that our actions are the product of
conviction, we will be the victims of fluctuating fancies and susceptible to
the “security” that is offered in conformity to a long list of human taboos.
Convinced, grace-filled, spirit-led obedience to God’s Law really is the
pathway to freedom. Remember, the law is not the dynamic of our sanctification,
God’s love for us is not on the basis of duty, but neither does His love for us
free us from duty.” -- Alistair
Begg, Pathway to Freedom
