QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Not to give God our spirit(ual worship) is a great sin.  It is a mockery of God, not worship, contempt, not adoration, whatever our outward fervency or protestations may be.  Every alienation of our hearts from Him is a real scorn put upon Him.  The acts of the soul are real, and more the acts of the man than the acts of the body; because they are the acts of the choicest part of man, and of that which is the first spring of all bodily motions; it is the internal speech whereby we must speak to God.  To give Him, therefore, only an external form of worship without the life of it, is taking His name in vain.
Stephen Charnock, The Attributes of God, pg.263

Dauntless Faith

I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee. (Acts 18:10)

So long as the Lord had work for Paul to do in Corinth, the fury of the mob was restrained. The Jews opposed themselves and blasphemed; but they could neither stop the preaching of the gospel nor the conversion of the hearers. God has power over the most violent minds. He makes the wrath of man to praise Him when it breaks forth, but He still more displays His goodness when He restrains it; and He can restrain it. "By the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, I Lord."

Do not, therefore, feel any fear of man when you know that you are doing your duty. Go straight on, as Jesus would have done, and those who oppose shall be as a bruised reed and as smoking flax. Many a time men have had cause to fear because they were themselves afraid; but a dauntless faith in God brushes fear aside like the cobwebs in a giant's path. No man can harm us unless the Lord permits. He who makes the devil himself to flee at a word can certainly control the devil's agents. Maybe they are already more afraid of you than you are of them. Therefore, go forward, and where you looked to meet with foes you will find friends.

Thanks! I wish I could claim credit, but it is a stock layout offered by Squarespace. I will be tweaking it when I have time.

I like it, too.

..a dauntless faith in God brushes fear aside like the cobwebs in a giant's path. No man can harm us unless the Lord permits.

That encourages me today.

I like your new design too.
