Quote of the Day

"As God will be worshiped solely, and wholly, so He will be worshipped constantly. As He hates a neuter and cold man, so he cannot endure a waverer. The Lord commands us to hold fast our profession without wavering, Hebrews 10:23. When we have proved all things, we must hold fast that which is good, 1 Thessalonians 5:21. Inconsistency in religion is a very evil thing, whether you consider the sin of it, or the punishment which is due to it. It cometh from evil, it tends to evil. It cometh from evil, as from a general foundation of all actual sins, original corruption. So particularly form that evil heart of unbelief whereby we depart from the living God, Hebrews 3:12. It tends to evil both in respect of sin, and punishment. It is dishonorable unto God. It is a high impeachment of his glorious attributes. It wrongs God in his wisdom, justice, mercy, power, goodness, faithfulness, as if God were not worthy of our firmest resolutions, and most constant adherence, in a word, of our poor all." --Arthur SalweyFrom his sermon: Halting Stigmatized, taken from The Writings of A Puritan's Mind Volume 1
