“The dearest idol I have known,
Whate’er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.” – William Cowper

@DannyMorgan0 It really was both the doctrine of worship and the doctrine of salvation with the Reformers. The Pre-Reformers were most interested in reforming the church's ecclesiology due to the many clerical corruptions running rampant.

@DannyMorgan0 I should have noted that worship was the first cause set out by Calvin in his "Necessity for Reforming the Church." https://t.co/RTZihiOFAT // Interestingly, it was also the first matter dealt with by the Westminster Assembly.

He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me; it was not I that found, O Savior true; no, I was found of Thee” — Jean Ingelow

We had two covenant baptisms at Church Creek PCA this morning. I love getting to apply the covenant sign to the children of believers as God’s promises are signified and sealed to them in the sacrament. May the Lord fulfill His promises and bring these little ones to saving faith in the Savior! What a God we serve who nurtures our children in the pale of the visible church.

Lots of ministers can say they have best full-time ministry staff, but I really do have be BEST. I praise God for Claire Gottshalk, @LordWillingham, and @thejfrizz!

We had the best Fall Fest tonight at Church Creek PCA. There is nothing quite like the Fall in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. I praise God for the men, women, boys, and girls of Church Creek. They are a special congregation.

"God has highly exalted [Christ] and bestowed on him the name that is oabove every name, so that at the pname of Jesus qevery knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that sJesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil. 2:9–11).

I was so thankful to come home from Presbytery today to find @NancyGuth3’s new @crossway publications—Beholding Christ and the Beholding Christ Bible. Nancy is a gift to the church and her books are gems. I cannot recommend her works enough. Go get your copies!

“Like Noah, Ezra, and Nehemiah, Christian theologians are to get on with the job without troubling themselves too much about the dissuaders.” — John Webster HT: @jeremiahhurt

Christ redeemed us to be light and salt––wise as serpents and gentle as doves––before a hostile world (Matt. 5:13–16; 10:16). Accordingly, we're to be "without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom we shine as lights in the world" (Phil. 2:15).

"I would say without any hesitation that the most urgent need in the Christian church today is true preaching; and as it is the greatest and the most urgent need in the Church; it is obviously the greatest need of the world also." - Martyn Lloyd-Jones
