Thomas Watson
“And we know that all things work together for good
to those who love God, to those who are the called
according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
Afflictions work for good to the godly, as they are
destructive to sin. Sin is the ‘mother’, affliction is
the ‘daughter’; the daughter helps to destroy
the mother.
Sin is like the tree which [...]

A Puritan prayer from the book, Valley of Vision
O God whose will conquers all,
There is no comfort in anything
apart from enjoying thee
and being engaged in thy service;
Thou art All in all, and all enjoyments are what to me
thou makest them, and no more.
I am well pleased with thy will, whatever it is,
or should be in [...]

Here is a song by Abraham Juliot. You can find his music for free here. He is the one who mixed together the Paul Washer testimony that I posted a few back. Mr. Abner was kind enough to turn me onto his website where I first got a taste for Mr. Juliot.

O Jesus, [...]

Thomas Watson, The Lord’s Supper
“The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sin!” 1 John 1:7
Christ’s blood is a CLEANSING blood. As the merit of Christ’s blood pacifies God—so the virtue of it purifies us. Christ’s blood is heaven’s bath. It is a laver to wash in. It washes a sinner—milk-white!
The Word [...]

Thomas Watson “The Doctrine of Repentance”.
“Unless you repent, you will also perish.” Luke 13:5
There are several counterfeits of repentance.
A man has gone on long in sin. At last God arrests him, shows him what desperate hazard he has run—and he is filled with anguish! But after a while, the tempest of conscience is blown [...]

Puritan Richard Sibbes said, “Godly friends are walking sermons”. I claim no direct friendship with Paul Washer, but I proclaim that this Godly man teaches, corrects, rebukes, and exhorts me with his passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ. Be moved to repent and obey by his charge to go.
Acts 4:1-22
1 And as they were [...]
