This Week's Quote - The Westminster Shorter Confession
"The bodies of men, after
death, return to dust, and see corruption: but their souls, which neither die
nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave
them: the souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are
received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God, in light
and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies. And the souls of
the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter
darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day. Beside these two places,
for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledges none."
- The
Westminster Confession of Faith, XXXII.1 (1647)

This Week's Quote - Alexander MacLaren
“The
apostolic church thought more about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ than
about death and heaven. The early Christians were looking, not for a cleft in
the ground called a grave but for a cleavage in the sky called Glory."

Alexander MacLaren, 1826-1910

This Week's Quote - Henry Smith
“There
is a place in hell where the covetous judge sitteth, the greedy lawyer, the
griping landlord, the careless bishops, the lusty youth, the wanton dames, the
thief, the robbers of the commonwealth. They are punished in this life because
they ever sin as long as they could, while mercy was offered unto them;
therefore because they would not be washed, they shall be drowned.”
- Henry Smith,
c. 1560-1591

This Week's Quote - Mary Winslow
“Is
it not strange that we can for one moment lose sight of
heaven, and the increasing glory; and grovel in the dust to gather pebbles, for
the pleasure of throwing them afterwards away?”

This Week's Quote - Thomas Adams
“There is no other

encounter them but repentance.”

This Week's Quote - Thomas Watson
God
is but one, yet are there three distinct persons subsisting in one Godhead.
This is a sacred mystery, which the light within man could never have
discovered. As the two natures in Christ, yet but one person, is a wonder; so
three persons, yet but one Godhead. Here is a great deep, the Father God, the
Son God, the Holy Ghost God; yet not three Gods, but one God. The three persons
in the blessed Trinity are distinguished, but not divided; three substances,
but one essence. This is a divine riddle, where one makes three, and three make
one. Our narrow thoughts can no more comprehend the Trinity in Unity, than a
nut-shell will hold all the water in the sea.
- Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686)
