church body kingdoms
The Church is everywhere represented as one. It is one body, one family, one fold, one kingdom. It is one because pervaded by one Spirit. We are all baptized into one Spirit so as to become, says the apostle, on body.
spiritual gratitude prayer
Prayer is the converse of the soul with God. Therein we manifest or express to Him our reverence, and love for His divine perfection, our gratitude for all His mercies, our penitence for our sins, our hope in His forgiving love, our submission to His authority, our confidence in His care, our desires for His favour, and for the providential and spiritual blessings needed for ourselves and others.
christian religious blessing
Foolish talking and jesting are not the ways in which Christian cheerfulness should express itself, but rather "giving of thanks" (Eph. 5:4). Religion is the source of joy and gladness, but its joy is expressed in a religious way, in thanksgiving and praise.
exercise men doe
But to be the Vicar of Christ, to claim to exercise his prerogatives on earth, does involve a claim to his attributes, and therefore our opposition to Popery is opposition to a man claiming to be God.
church lord reason
All the reasons which require the subjection of a believer to the brethren of a particular church require his subjection to all his brethren in the Lord.
men rely-upon evil
It is only when men associate with the wicked with the desire and purpose of doing them good, that they can rely upon the protection of God to preserve them from contamination.
christian humility grace
Christian humility does not consist in denying what there is of good in us; but in an abiding sense of ill-desert, and in the consciousness that what we have of good is due to the grace of God.
children simple profound
The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches.
belly blade good hard help mechanics putter putting regain release short training trouble work
Putting is so much feel, so it's hard to tell if a belly putter will work for someone. But if you're having trouble with short putts, it's going to help you regain your mechanics so that you release the blade through the putt. If nothing else, in that way it's a good training device.
everybody good group guys high inside looks outside ready year
I think the linebacker group this year is high caliber. There's a lot of good inside guys and good outside guys. Everybody looks the part. They look like they're ready to go.
fastball good movement
He's a pretty good pitcher. The movement on his fastball is something you can't teach.
calls coach continue good guard learning point run team time work
I got a lot of time at the point guard position, learning how to run a team (in Austin). I think I got better and better every day. For the most part, it was a good experience. I'm just going to continue to work every day, and if coach calls my number, I'll be ready.
backs defenders forcing good helped job keeper last pressure result three today
I think it was a result of better pressure on their backs and their keeper that helped us. Last week, we weren't getting that in our first three games, but today we did a better job of pressuring their defenders and forcing some mistakes. When you do that usually something good is going to come from it.
changing contracts good investment raising sign themselves viable
As they are changing from old contracts to new ones they are raising rates, which is a good sign that they are doing very well. They have established themselves as a viable investment prospect.
