Fri.-Sabbath, 7/19-21/19 Devotion

In order to help prepare us for our high and holy calling of the Lord's Day's church worship, let us consider these words, as they are taken from Jeremiah Burroughs' book, entitled, "Gospel Remission":

"Perhaps some of you have lain under the burden and power of sin, and you have thought the only way to get victory has been to resolve and strive against it. And you have done so, and yet you cannot get power over your sins. I remember one wrote to Luther, telling him that he had vowed and covenanted against his sin, and yet his sin prevailed against him until he un-derstood the grace of the Gospel. And so maybe have you done, and yet your sin prevails because you take not this course."
