Men in the PCA Something swell to read around the Thanksgiving table: "I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I want to be. I am not what I hope to be. But still, I am not what I used to be. And by the grace of God, I am what I am." John Newton (1725-1807) (via SS)

Men in the PCA "The Bible’s purpose is not so much to show you how to live a good life. The Bible’s purpose is to show you how God’s grace breaks into your life against your will and saves you from the sin and brokenness otherwise you would never be able to overcome…" Tim Keller (via SS)

Men in the PCA
"I live in a constant state of needing forgiveness from you and I live in a permanent state of receiving it from you. ... I sin against you-in thought, word and deed, every hour of every day. I’m most aware ... when I fix my gaze on you, NOT on the people who frustrate me, fail me or harm me. When I look at them, the “...wicked servant” in me raises his self-righteous, mean-spirited, “I’ll-get-even-with-you” head." (SS)Več

Men in the PCA "Not only do I need your grace to enable me to own and boast in my weaknesses, I need your grace so that I will stop despising weaknesses in others. By the gentle but sure convicting work of your Spirit, I can see how lately I’ve become a bit irritated, impatient, and impolite towards brokenness in other people, and this attitude is simply unacceptable." (SS)

Men in the PCA "Help me to speak and act today as someone for whom the triumph of mercy over judgment is complete. Help me to speak and act as someone the Son of God has set free, free indeed. I need wisdom, gospel-wisdom, to live and love this way, for I don’t want to be exploited, but neither do I want to get more cold-hearted or cynical. Mercy me, Jesus, continue to mercy me." (SS)

Men in the PCA "The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay on the Father [God], the greatest unkindness you can do to him is not to believe that he loves you (p. 13)." John Owen in "Communion with God" via B. Hamrick

Men in the PCA "Loving Father, you are so wise and kind, for you know that if I do not intentionally and fully set my hope on your grace—present and future grace, I will set my hope somewhere else—on people who will disappoint me, on some pseudo-gospel that cannot deliver me, or on my own devices and energies, which will invariably fail me." (SS)
