“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.” (Galatians 5:16,17 ESV)

A point Kevin DeYoung makes in his devotion on the Lord’s Supper that I often neglect in my own life and the life of the church: The Supper is intended to orient us horizontally as we are moved in grace toward our fellow believers…
I know and I say often it reminds us to consider our common union with one another in Christ but His grace displayed through the Supper should cause us to be more gracious to one another.

Good words for our consideration…

Thomas Watson on Preparing Ourselves to Hear the Preached Word:

"It may be the last time that God will ever speak to us in His Word; it may be the last sermon that we shall ever hear; we may go from the place of hearing to the place of judging. If people would think thus when they come into the house of God, "Perhaps this will be the last time that God will counsel us about our souls, the last time that ever we shall see our minister's face," with what devotion would they come! How would their affections be all on fire in hearing! We give great attention to the last speeches of friends. A parent's dying words are received as oracles. Oh, let all this provoke us to diligence in hearing! Let us think, "This may be the last time that Aaron's bell should sound in our ears, and before another day is past we may be in another world."
