The Christian is bred by the Word and must be fed by it. William Gurnall

1 Peter 1:6-7 "In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more

precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in

praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;"

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for

then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success."

Memory Verse: Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is

Reasons to Reflect on Baptism #19. Baptism Proclaims a Vital Union Between Christ and the Believer. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit takes up residence within our hearts and

begins to form the likeness of Jesus in us, resulting in a growing Christ-likeness as long as we are on earth. “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ

lives in me; and the life which I now live in the f lesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” (Gal. 2:20) http://gopcmodestortp.blogspot.com.

Helpful Quotes

Satan tempts to sin under a pretence of religion. He is most to be feared when he

transforms himself into an angel of light. He came to Christ with Scripture in his mouth: “It is written.” The devil baits his hook with religion. He tempts many a man to covetousness and

extortion under a presence of providing for his family; he tempts some to do away with

themselves, that they may live no longer to sin against God; and so he draws them into sin, under a pretence of avoiding sin. Thomas Watson

Satan, like a fisher, baits his hook according to the appetite of the fish. Thomas Adams
