The Christian is bred by the Word and must be fed by it. William Gurnall

Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 "But store up for yourselves treasures in

heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Numbers 15:38-40 "‘Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that

they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue. 39 It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not follow

after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, 40 so that you

may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God.’"

Memory Verse

Romans 12:1-2: Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of

worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of

your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Reasons to Reflect on Baptism #8. Baptism is a Sign. Like the Lord's Table, baptism

proclaims a message each time it is performed, and that message is deep, rich and well

worthy of our reflection. "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by

the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

(Titus 3:5-7) http://gopcmodestortp.blogspot.com.

Helpful Quotes

It is the nature of faith to believe God upon His bare word. . . . It will not be, says sense; it cannot be, says reason; it both can and will be, says faith, for I have a promise for it. Trapp

How shall I depend on Him for raising my body from the dust; and saving my soul at last; if I

distrust Him for a crust of bread, towards my preservation. Joseph Hall

God commands nothing but what is beneficial. “O Israel, what does the Lord require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to keep His statutes, which I command you this day, for

your good?” To obey God, is not so much our duty as our privilege. Thomas Watson
