Fri.-Sabbath, 10/27-29/17 Devotion

Yes! Sunday is almost here! So as to help prepare us for church worship, here are some good words from Thomas Watson's great little book, entitled, "The Doctrine of Repentance":

"This resolution [to leave sin] must be built upon the strength of Christ more than our own. It must be a humble resolution. As David, when he went against Goliath put off his presumptuous confidence as well as his armor—'I come to you in the name of the Lord,' (1 Sam. 17:45)—so we must go out against our Goliath-lusts in the strength of Christ. . . . Being conscious of our own inability to leave sin, let us get Christ to be bound with us and engage His strength for the mortifying of corruption."
