@StephenCharnock did not give his congregation a lot of parenting advice, but that which he did you don't hear today. https://t.co/4neeczUN1T

The irony about Christmas is that, even with the extra services and outreach events, we can forget to worship Jesus ourselves. Here is some help from @StephenCharnock for not forgetting Christ this Christmas. https://t.co/uqPUH2wVx6

“The search after God is a greater happiness than the fruition of anything in the world can be.” – Stephen Charnock

[Christian Quotes @ReformedPastors]

All goodness delights to communicate itself. Infinite goodness has then an infinite delight in expressing itself; it is a part of God’s goodness not to be weary of showing it. God can never then be weary of petitions for the effusions of it.

[T. S. Sinclair @_TSSinclair]

“But God hath his whole being in one and the same point, or moment of eternity. He receives nothing as an addition to what he was before; he loseth nothing of what he was before; he is always the same excellency and perfection in the same infiniteness as ever.”

Stephen Charnock

[Joey Mazzurco @reformed_Joe]

"God is the most simple being; for that which is first in nature, having nothing beyond it, cannot by any means be thought to be compounded..now God being infinitely simple, hath nothing in himself which is not himself."

-Stephen Charnock, Existence & Attributes of God, p. 210

Christians often have a good idea of the difference Christ's resurrection makes to their future. But what about their life now? This is what @StephenCharnock had to say. https://t.co/3LB95ZBjBZ

The whole revelation of the mind of God is stored with wisdom, in the words, connection, sense; it looks backwards to past, and forwards to ages to come. A hidden wisdom lies in the bowels of it, like gold in a mine. Works 2:31

[Stephen Charnock @StephenCharnock]

If I could conceive him, he were not God, for God is incomprehensibly above whatsoever I can say, whatsoever I can think and conceive of him. Work 1:279

[Stephen Charnock @StephenCharnock]

Conceive of him as excellent, without any imperfection. A Spirit without parts; great without quantity; perfect without quality; everywhere without place; powerful without members; understanding without ignorance; wise without reasoning; light without darkness; . . .

[Stephen Charnock @StephenCharnock]

conceive of spirit, and acknowledge the infirmity of your own minds. And whatsoever conception comes into your minds, say, This is not God, God is more than this. . .

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

As I spend time supporting the believers in my church, probably the most common issue come across is people doubting whether they really are justified in Christ. Here's some help from @StephenCharnock with that.
