Thomas Goodwin – The Heart of Christ

The puritan, Thomas Goodwin, in expounding Hebrews 4:15 gives us the following encouragement. As you read it, take heart, Christian, for this is Christ's disposition towards you: "There is comfort concerning such infirmities, in that your very sins move him to pity more than to anger.

Eat, Don’t Argue!

Posted by Allen Cantrell   Jeremiah 15:16 Read! Then ask yourselves: 1) Have I found His word?  2) Am I feasting upon it?  3) Does it cause my heart to rejoice?  4) Do I know (because of number 3)  the power of His calling?    "Two learned doctors were angrily disputing the nature of food,...
