For the Lord's Day

“The effort to think like a Christian is . . . an effort to take seriously the sovereignty of God over the world he created, the lordship of Christ over the world he died to redeem, and the power of the Holy Spirit over the world he sustains each and every moment. From this perspective the search for a mind that truly thinks like a Christian takes on ultimate significance, because the search for a Christian mind is not, in the end, a search for the mind but a search for God.”

—Mark Noll, The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind

For the Lord's Day

What can separate my soul

From the God who made me whole,

Wrote my name in heaven’s scroll?

Nothing, Hallelujah!

Trouble, hardship, danger, sword

Brought by those who hate my Lord?

Slander here? Or no reward?

Nothing, Hallelujah!

-- James Montgomery Boice

For the Lord's Day

“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
