Jonathan Edwards Resolutions #1: Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good . . .
1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad’s of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.
DailyTheocentrism: “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24)
God is not material in the way matter is to us. He needs not, holds not and is pleased not by things. He is pleased with our spiritual service only (Romans 12:1–2) and resides relationally with us much above the world we live in that worships in flesh and lies.
The Church is NOT multi-cultural . . .
Thabiti Anyabwile: “The Church is multi-ethnic, but NOT multi-cultural; it is singular in culture – but not our “former” culture, rather our new culture, the culture of God.”
