“Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond
the reach of God's grace. And your
best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.” -- Jerry Bridges in The Discipline of Grace.

For the Lord's Day - Thanksgiving Sunday
“Tragically, most of us have been taught that duty,
not delight, is the way to glorify God. We have not been taught that delight in
God is our duty! Being satisfied with God is not an optional add-on to the real
stuff of Christian duty. It is the most basic demand of all. ‘Delight yourself
in the LORD’ (Psalm 37:4 is not a suggestion, but a command. So are: ‘Serve the
LORD with gladness’ (Psalm 100:2) and, ‘Rejoice in the LORD always (Philippians4:4).”
– John Piper, The Godward Life

For the Lord's Day
"By far the greatest and most general controversy which Satan has with the saint of God is, to lead him to doubt the ability and the willingness of Christ to save a poor sinner. The anchor of his soul removed from this truth he is driven out upon a rough sea of doubt and anguish, and is at the mercy of every wind of doctrine and every billow of unbelief that may assail his storm-tossed bark." ~ Octavius Winslow

For the Lord's Day and the week
“Almighty
God, who holds us to account for the use of all our powers and privileges:
Guide, we pray, the people of these United States of America in the election of
their rulers and representatives; that by wise legislations and faithful
administration the rights of all, free-born, foreign born and unborn, may be
protected, and our nation be enabled to fulfill your purposes; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen”.
(Adapted and modified by RE Larry Byers from The Book
of Common Worship-1946)
