Thank God—it is almost Sunday, God's holy day. Let us be sure to keep the commandment, and worship the Lord. In order to encourage us in this, here are some good words (slightly updated by me) from Jonathan Edwards, taken from his sermon entitled, "Christians a Chosen Generation.” . . .
"Christians are of such a different nature and temper from the rest of the world. The truly godly are very different in their disposition from others. They hate those things that the rest of the world loves, and love those things for which the rest of the world has no interest."So much is this so, that others are ready to wonder at the fact that the godly should place any happiness in a strict observance of the self-denying duties of religion. They wonder what delight true Christians can take in spending so much time in meditation and prayer; and that they do not place happiness in those things which they themselves do. 1 Peter 4:4: 'Wherein they think it strange that you do not run with them to the same excess of riot, [as they] speak evil of you.' But the reason is that they are of a different race, and so live by different dispositions."
