Weekly Update 07.24.26
Godliness...
This evening, the men of Trinity will get together to build something: themselves in godliness. Godliness is, after all, profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come (1 Tim. 4:8). Here’s a snippet from the reading we will discuss—Thomas Watson’s The Godly Man’s Picture—for your contemplation today:
Strive for the reality of godliness. Do not rest in the common workings of God’s Spirit. Do not think that it is enough to be intelligent and discursive. A man may [talk about] religion to the admiration of others, yet not feel the sweetness of those things in his own soul. The lute gives a melodious sound to others, but does not at all feel the sound itself. Judas could make an elegant discourse about Christ, but did not feel virtue from him.
Love,
Pastor Andrew
