Oh, and dec, Fox’s Moment of Truth is really troubling! Making money off of being truthful?! What have we come to these days? Whatever happened to the lie detector of the human conscience?

Don’t get me started . . .

The Puritans, though being dead, still speak to us today.
Their hearts aflame with Words of Truth, they challenge us and say:

“O, fear the Lord, ye chosen ones; He is your God and King.
Revere His Word — It is your life! And to His precepts cling.

“The loveliness of Christ we see on every Sacred Page;
His servanthood and sacrifice — unchanged from age to age.

“The Word the conscience also pricks, and thus reveals our sin;
It drives us to the Cross again, for cleansing deep within.”

Thus eagerly we read their works in A.D. 2008;
The glory: God’s; the benefit, ours; come join — it’s not too late!

Interesting information indeed (keeping with the alliteration theme).

It certainly is true that the excellent endures while fads and fancies fade.

(Sorry, I can’t help myself. Funny though, I almost never use alliteration in my preaching, most times I don’t even have any points to alliterate. It is good to exposit and let the text determine a message’s structure.)

Good question. Do you think we’ll be discussing Fox’s “The Moment of Truth” or Sibbes’ “The Bruised Reed”?
