“Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead” ~ 2 Timothy 2:8

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

The true Christian is marked by “a sincere and pure devotion to Christ”.

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” (2 Cor. 11:2-3)

“having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word”
— Ephesians 5:26

Our sins make us dirty, but his word makes us clean.

Many congratulations to Wyndham Clark on a superb, wire to wire US Open victory at Shinnecock. There are few accomplishments in golf that compare to winning your country’s National Championship and this course demands every aspect of a player’s game. It was a reminder that behind every champion is a journey filled with sacrifice, support and belief. Well done, Wyndham. GP

How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young…

— Psalm 84:1-3

But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Mat 12:48-50

To be able to say, God is mine, is more than to have all mines of gold and silver.”

— Thomas Watson

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“God offers himself to be our God. And faith catches hold of the offer, it appropriates God, and makes all that is in him over to us to be ours; his wisdom to be ours, to teach us; his holiness ours, to sanctify us; his Spirit ours, to comfort us; his mercy ours, to save us.

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (Psalm 16:8)

“Let not sin therefore reign”

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” (2 Cor. 11:2-3)

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:6

For the sake of the wheat, then, the wicked are tolerated until the harvest.”

~ Dr. Mark Ross

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“The purpose of the parable (Matt 13:24-30) is not to tell us about the presence of unbelievers in the church, but to explain God’s toleration of the wicked in the world. They are not now pulled out and burned because of the damage which might be done to the wheat.

So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:57-58)

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“All things were created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:16

The purpose of every creature is Jesus Christ.

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3)

And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God’s angels worship him.” (Hebrews 1:6)

Therefore, the Son is one God with the Father.

“This Jesus is none other than God himself, distinct from the Father but eternally subsisting in the identical divine essence.”

“Let not sin therefore reign”

[Whitney Mathis @Whit179]

“So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.”

— Romans 6:11-12
