Daily Quote for Monday, December 29, 2025

 "Yet we in our day, much as we love to sing Amazing Grace (I suppose because we like the tune), are not inwardly amazed by grace as the Puritans were; it does not startle us that the holy Creator should receive sinners into his company; rather, we take it for granted! 'God will forgive. That's his job!' was the final scoff with which the French cynic went to meet his maker." - J. I. Packer, A Quest for Godliness - The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life

Recommended sermon: Christians Get Depressed Too, by Dr. David P. Murray

Here are some excerpts from Elizabeth Wurtzel's great book, Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America:

  • 'I looked at him in shock. Why the hell does everyone think the problem is drugs? 'David, what I wouldn't give to have a drug problem.' I say. 'What I wouldn't give for it to be that simple. If I could check in somewhere and come out the other end okay. I'd be thrilled.'"
  • "Even then, I was pretty certain, in my 12 year old mind, that life was one long distraction from the inevitable."
  • "Everything's plastic, we're all going to die sooner or later, so what does it matter. That was my motto."
  • "...and then one day you realize that your entire life is just awful, not worth living, a horror and a black blot on the white terrain of human existence. One morning you wake up afraid you're going to live."
  • "But then I never had to worry about a crash landing because I never even took off."
  • "Something inside me was not just depressed but dividing, cracking, splintering, pulling me back and forth between my two parents, and occasionally I wished I could walk through a picture window, and have the sharp, broken shards slash me to ribbons so I would finally look like I felt."
  • "They ask me if I've done any drugs in the last 24 hours, and I say no. Then I say I guess I smoked some pot and snorted some coke also, but that was just to make the Ecstasy last longer. I also admit to them I had some beer, maybe a couple of sea breezes in there too. Then the doctor asks if I have a substance abuse problem, and all I can do is laugh."
  • "'I won't do that.' he said. 'I already told you it's your mother's responsibility.' 'Oh *** Daddy. I give up. I can't listen to this anymore.' 'What am I supposed to say?' 'Try, Have a good life. Because this is it for me.' Years later, thinking about this conversation, I will remember, as somebody very sagely said during the parricide trials of the Menendez brothers: Anytime your kids kill you, you are at least partly to blame."
  • "Depression is all about If you loved me you would."
  • "But instead of going to a mental institution, I decided to go to California."
  • "...I wish that every psychiatrist I've ever dealt with could know what it's like to be a patient and to feel desperate. I wish they could know what it's like to wake up every morning afraid you're going to live.'
  • "So the plan was simple: I would earn enough money to pay my mother back, and they I'd kill myself."
  • "On April 8, 1994, as I was completing this book, Kurt Cobain shot himself in the head...Grunge, the musical style that Nirvana did so much to invent and popularize, was described by Newsweek as 'what happens when children of divorce get their hands on guitars.'...Every person who has experienced a severe depression has his own sad, awful tale to tell, his own mess to live through. Sadly, Kurt Cobain will never get that far. Every day I thank God that I did."

Here is a Hymn Based on Psalm 32: How Blest is He Whose Trespass

"(A Psalm of David, Maschil.) Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart." - Psalm 32

Daily Sermon for the Hearing Impaired: Intro to Revelation

Intro to Revelation, by Joe W. Allen [Text: Revelation 1:1-3]

Recommended reading: Brazilian Skateboarder Quotes Bible in Sign Language to Defy Olympic Ban on Religious Displays - lifesitenews.com

Note: This daily sermon for the hearing impaired is dedicated to my good friend, David J. Bishop, who went home to be with his Lord Jesus on July 1, 2021. David was the inspiration for me to begin posting links to sermons for the hearing impaired. David's not deaf anymore. And the first words he heard were from our Lord Jesus, saying to him, "Well done, David, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of thy Lord!" [Matthew 25:21]

Here is one of the last pictures David sent to me before he died. He was a big sports fan and LOVED the Seattle Seahawks! He was also a BIG baseball fan. I'm sure if David had been able to hear he would have loved the song, Take Me Out to the Ball Game! But David loved our Lord Jesus much, much, much more than any sporting event! Oh, here is a video of Take Me Out to the Ball Game in American Sign Language! (ASL)

The following is from thewestminsterstandard.org:

Q. 21. Who is the Redeemer of God’s elect?

A. The only Redeemer of God’s elect is the Lord Jesus Christ, who, being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distinct natures, and one person, forever.

Q. 22. How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
A. Christ, the Son of God, became man, by taking to himself a true body and a reasonable soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and born of her, yet without sin.

Q. 23. What offices doth Christ execute as our Redeemer?
A. Christ, as our Redeemer, executeth the offices of a prophet, of a priest, and of a king, both in his estate of humiliation and exaltation.

Q. 24. How doth Christ execute the office of a prophet?
A. Christ executeth the office of a prophet, in revealing to us, by his Word and Spirit, the will of God for our salvation.

Q. 25. How doth Christ execute the office of a priest?
A. Christ executeth the office of a priest, in his once offering up of himself a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and reconcile us to God, and in making continual intercession for us.

Jonathan Edwards: MANY ARE CALLED, FEW ARE CHOSEN: THE TERRIFYING MATHEMATICS OF ETERNAL LIFE


 Here is a quote from Jonathan Edward's sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God:

"It would be dreadful to suffer this fierceness and wrath of Almighty God for one moment; but you must suffer it to all eternity. There will be no end to this exquisite horrible misery. When you look forward, you shall see a long forever, a boundless duration before you which will swallow up your thoughts, and amaze your souls, and you will absolutely despair of ever having any deliverances, any end, any mitigation, any rest at all; and you will know certainly that you must wear out long ages, millions and millions of ages, in wrestling and conflicting with this Almighty merciless vengeance; and then when you have so done, when many ages have actually been spent by you in this manner, you will know that it is all but a point to what remains. So that your punishment will indeed be infinite."  -

The Deadly Danger of Remodeling Hell: A Response to the Controversy Over the Kirk Cameron Show

The following quotes are from the book The Sinfulness of Sin, by Ralph Venning. Mr. Venning lived in the 1600s. Here are some quotes from this book:

  • “As men sow in this seed time they shall reap in that harvest.”“There will be no sleeping in hell.”
  • “‘But you only have to repent’ says sin, ‘God will forgive you.’ To this we must say that he who has promised forgiveness to those who repent, has not promised repentance to them that sin.”
  • “They will be in this like the burning bush, which was burnt with fire, but not consumed. As the church was on earth, so sinners will be in hell.”
  • “Most of the past time in the world is lost time, but sinning time, or time spent in sin, is worst than lost, for it must be accounted for.”
  • “To pay so dear a price for so vile a commodity. To pay according to the rate of heaven and be put off with hell.”
  • “Will you be damned? Can you think calmly of going to hell? Have you no pity on your poor soul?”
  • “Holiness is the beauty of earth and of heaven. They who jeer and scoff at holiness and rejoice that they are none of the holy ones, might as well make bone fires, ring the bells, and give thanks that they shall never be saved. For if they are not holy, saved they cannot be.”
  • “To pluck out your right eye or cut off your right hand would be a pleasure in comparison to being damned in hell. A burning fever is nothing to burning in hell. Of all the miseries which have been undergone by all men it would be nothing in hell.”
  • “If thunder, lightning, and earthquakes make men afraid and shrink together, what will hell do? If the throbbing of a toothache or gnawing of gout puts men to excruciating pain, what will hell do?”
  • “When men please themselves with thoughts of their past sins, when they chew the cud and lick their lips after it…then they do the sin over and over again by thinking of it.”
  • “Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace was terrible, especially when heated seven times more than usual, yet hell is a worse furnace of fire. Those who do iniquity (who are sin makers by trade), shall be cast into a furnace of fire which shall not devour them, but shall torment them and make them wail and gnash their teeth.”
  • “It is said that thoughts are free. They are indeed free with respect to the world who cannot judge us for them. But God can and will.”
  • “So to work out his own salvation with fear and trembling. They who live in sin, however, work out their own damnation, and that many times without fear or trembling. But they will have a great store of these when they come to receive their just doom and damnation. Time is a most precious commodity, for eternity depends upon the moment.”
  • “There will be degrees of torment in hell, although it will be intolerable for all.”
  • “This day your soul may be taken from you, and you may be in hell tomorrow.”

And finally, here is Ralph Venning's account of a conversation between God - our Lord Jesus Christ - and a lost sinner on judgment day:

“It’s as if the sinner should say to the Lord in the Day of Judgment, ‘Have mercy on me.'
'Have mercy upon you?’ says God. ‘No, I will have no mercy upon you. There was a time when you might have had mercy without judgment, but now you shall have judgment without mercy. Depart! Depart!’
If they should then beg and say, ‘Lord, if we must depart, let it be from Thy throne of judgment, but not from Thee.’
‘No,’ says the Lord. ‘Depart from me. Depart form my presence, which is joy. Depart, and go to hell!’
‘Lord,’ they say, ‘seeing we must be gone, bless us before we go, that Thy blessing may be upon us.’
‘Oh no,’ says God, ‘Go with a curse. Depart ye cursed.’
‘Oh Lord, if we must go from Thee, let us not go into the place of torment, but appoint a place, if not of pleasure, then of ease.’
‘No, depart into fire, burning and tormenting flames.’
‘Oh Lord, if into fire, let it be only for a little while. For who can dwell in everlasting burning?’
‘No! Neither you nor the fire shall know an end. Be gone into everlasting fire.’
‘Lord, then let it be long before we go there.’
‘No, depart immediately. The sentence shall be immediately put into execution.’
‘Oh Lord, let us at least have good company who will pity us, though they cannot help us.’
‘No, you shall have none but the tormenting devils. Those whom you obeyed when they were your tempters shall be with you as tormentors.’
What misery sin has brought on man to bring him to hear this dreadful doom.”
