Corporate Worship & The Glory of God
posted by Joel Taylor
Corporate worship must be unto God. When properly performed, it is unto God. It is oriented to the glory of God rather than the blessedness of man, and it aims at man’s blessedness only as a means to the end of God’s glory. All that the Christian does must be done to the glory of […]

Middle of the Road
posted by Joel Taylor
Too often, in my opinion, we see the idea that the best way to operate is to move toward the middle of a discussion to look for common ground with your discussion counterpart(s) being deployed. This approach may work well in a Rotary Club meeting but is it the best way to conduct Theological debate? […]
Great Humility
posted by Joel Taylor
“There is no disposition more the object of divine abhorrence and detestation than pride; nor consequently, any more amiable and necessary than humility. We are told, “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble (James 4:6). To the same purpose the prophet Isaiah, “For thus saith the high and lofty One, that inhabiteth […]

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s. – Exodus 20:17 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not […]
Our Peace With God
posted by Joel Taylor
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. – Romans 5:1 Our peace with God is not as between two nations before at war; but as between a king and rebellious and guilty subjects. While our hearts are at last at rest, it is because […]
True Religion Is Practical
posted by Joel Taylor
True religion is always practical, for it does not permit us to delight ourselves in a perfect rule without exciting in us a longing to be conformed to it in our daily lives. A blessing belongs to those who hear and read and understand the word of the Lord; yet is it a far greater […]
A Puritan’s Prayer: God The Source of All Good
posted by Joel Taylor
O Lord God, Who inhabitest eternity, The heavens declare thy glory, The earth thy riches, The universe is thy temple; Thy presence fills immensity, Yet thou hast of thy pleasure created life, and communicated happiness; Thou hast made me what I am, and given me what I have; In thee I live and […]

posted by Joel Taylor
Last week I found myself in a local missionary society, standing in front of a collection of books, tracts and various materials that had caught my eye. I perused, they asked if I had read, I said no, they offered, and I received. How’s that for a summation? Anyway, one of the books I was […]

A Puritan’s Prayer: God The All
posted by Joel Taylor
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 […]
The Hidden Line [The Destiny of Men]
posted by Joel Taylor
Here is a poem I ran across that well describes the peril of life–and death-apart from Christ, without hope. A portion of Psalm 95 is mentioned towards the end. The poem itself was written by Rev. Joseph Addison Alexander, third son of Archibald Alexander and who would become an assistant to Charles Hodge while at […]
