Saturday Musings
Can’t wait to preach tomorrow’s first Christmas season message. Tonight I am going to relax with my wife and enjoy the evening.
Enjoy your weekend.
Cling to Jesus with all your heart.

“Gladness and gravity should be woven together in the life and preaching of a pastor in such a way as to sober the careless soul and sweeten the burdens of the saints.”

It is significant that one of the biblical names of Christ is Wonderful Counselor (Isa. 9:6). He is the highest and ultimate One to whom we may turn for counsel, and His Word is the well from which we may draw divine wisdom. . . . In fact, one of the most glorious aspects of Christ’s perfect sufficiency is the wonderful counsel and great wisdom He supplies in our times of despair, confusion, fear, anxiety, and sorrow. He is the quintessential Counselor.
—John MacArthur, The Sufficiency of Christ, 75.
