It's been about four years since I've done Quote of the Day on a regular basis, but those first four years in the ministry, I sent a quotation out by email to several dozens of people on an almost daily basis.
I'm not going to commit to that sort of ministry again in the near future, though I get a couple requests every couple of months to start it again, but I will put them out there in this blog format. Perhaps in this more permanent form, you'll be able to chew on them a bit better.
Puritan Thomas Brooks on sin…
It is your duty and glory to do that every day that you would willingly do upon a dying day. Ah, how would you live and love upon a dying day? How would you admire God, rest upon God, delight in God, long for God, and walk with God, upon a dying day? How would you hate, loathe, and abhor your bosom sins upon a dying day?…. Thrice happy is that soul that labours with all his might to do that at first that he would give a thousands worlds to do on a dying day."
