The Pleasures of Refined Society
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant…”
Song of Solomon 1:16a
WE love Him because He first loved us; we presume to call Him our beloved, because He first calls us His love. It is much for such unworthy creatures to have the right of saying this; much to have the feelings and desires which prompt [...]
Rejoicing in God’s Sovereignty
HEAVENLY NOTES

“The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens; and His Kingdom ruleth over all.”
Psalm 103:19

“See that no one leads you astray…”
There is no “new” thing under the sun. See what sayeth the Lord God:
“As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?” And Jesus answered them, [...]
Art Communicates Truth
“Art communicates truth in various ways. Sometimes it tells a story, and the story is true to human experience — it is an incarnation of the human condition. Sometimes art tells the truth in the form of propositions. This is especially characteristic of literary art forms, which speak with words. Art can also convey emotional [...]

Light Shining Out of Darkness
Light Shining Out of Darkness
William Cowper (1731–1800)
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,

He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall [...]

darkness is thy pavilion,
thou walkest on the wings of the wind;
All nations are nothing before thee;
one generation succeeds another,
and we hasten back [...]
