Love the Preaching of God’s Word
A gracious soul loves that preaching best which make an heart-anatomy.
Give Us Bread This Day
Our Saviour will have us pray, ‘Give us bread this day,’ to teach us to live every day as if it were our last.
Thomas Watson, The Lord’s Prayer (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth Trust, 1662/1999), 202.
God Is Not Slack about His Promises
Promises are obligatory. If God has passed a promise, He cannot go back.
We Are Safe!
It’s not our holding to God, but His holding to us that perseveres us. Like little boats tied fast to a rock, we are safe.

Preaching Gives Light
Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure the truth.
Thomas Watson, The Beatitudes: An Exposition of Matthew 5.1-12 (Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth, 2014), 156.
Evidences of Faith and Repentance
He that can believe without doubting, suspect his faith; and he that can repent without sorrowing, suspect his repentance.
