Scripture of the Day

Hebrews 4:

11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

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
