Playing with a Feather

Posted on by under Thomas Watson

Would a king take it well at our hands, if, when speaking to us, we should be playing with a feather? When God is speaking to us in His Word, and our hearts are taken up with thoughts about the world, is not this playing with a feather? Oh, how should this humble most of us, that we do not make God to be a God to us! We do not believe in Him, love Him, worship Him as God. Many heathens have worshiped their false gods with more seriousness and devotion than some Christians do the true God. O let us chide ourselves; did I say chide? Let us abhor ourselves for our deadness and formality in religion; how we have professed God, and yet have not worshipped Him as God.

Life Is Worship

Posted on by under Kenneth Frederick

The Lord Jesus comes to Peter while he is engaged in his ordinary work of fishing, uses Peter’s boat for His preaching, and speaks of the work of fishing to illustrate and prepare Peter for His higher service. So God speaks to us in our ordinary tasks of life, uses our ordinary duties to lead us to a higher plane of service. What a dignity this places on every day life! Many Christians are under the impression that they would find it much easier to be a committed Christian under exceptional circumstances, and perhaps that is true. But to glorify God in daily life by faithfulness and obedience, that is the real test of loyalty for the believer.
