Fri.-Sabbath, 3/15-17/13 Devotion

Wahoo--it is almost Sunday again! We *get* to go back to church! In order to help prepare us for the Lord's Day, here is some good doctrine from Jonathan Edwards, from his sermon entitled, "God Does What He Pleases" . . .

"God promised that He would give the heathen to Christ for His inher-itance and the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession. He promised that the Christian church would be as a grain of mustard seed; though very small at first, it would become as a great tree and the gates of hell would never prevail against it--and He has accomp-lished it, however difficult. By means of the ministry of a few fisher-men, He spread the gospel over the most considerable nations of the world against all the opposition that kings, the gates of hell, the sin of ignorance, and the pride, the spite, and the malice of the world could make against it. And this was done because nothing is too hard for God and because He does whatever He will."
