I hope what you find in yourself by daily experience, will humble you—but not discourage you.
For if our Physician is almighty—our disease cannot be desperate. Our sins are many—but His mercies are more. Our sins are great—but His righteousness is greater. When our sins prevail, remember that we have an Advocate with the Father, who is able to pity, to pardon, and to save to the uttermost!
It is better to be admiring the compassion and fullness of grace which is in our Savior—than to dwell and pore too much upon our own poverty and vileness. (John Newton)

Lots of good stuff. Go at ’em!
- Michael Horton from the White Horse Inn shares a post on the excellence of the ordinary Christian. Go here to read more.
- C Michael Patton answers objections people have about the Bible’s self-authentication.
- Ask Pastor John segments from Desiring God are great. John Piper fields questions that Christians may have about anything related to Christianity. I thought I would highlight a couple: Is My Boyfriend’s Porn a Marriage Deal-Breaker? and Is My Husband’s Porn a Marriage Deal Breaker?
- In the same vein, Garrett Kell from the Gospel Coalition shares how to destroy a marriage before it even begins.
- This next one is a personal narrative about a man who–through immense suffering–is discovering the truth that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:13-14). You can find them in parts: part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4.
- And last but not least, Sunday is almost here. Let’s learn how to better criticize the preacher.
Have a great weekend.
