  2. Henry Venn, an Anglican with the Church Missionary Society, makes an awkwardly precise point: good works don’t earn God’s favour on their own, yet Scripture repeatedly promises great reward when they flow from faith, love of God, and obedience. The tension, he suggests, lies less in the Bible than in our stubbornly worldly hearts. Some object to “worldliness,” others to reward itself—but the verses remain. The real question is how such a heart is ever overcome.

  7. Tonight on Steadfast, we're looking at the counterpoint to the ever familiar Ephesians 2:8-9. What does it mean to be created to do good works? Are we right back to earning God's favor? Ephesians 2:10 helps us dig into that question. youtube.com/live/Ma4p6OBiECk

  11. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 113 (1955)

  15. A quotation from Will Rogers

    If some of those Birds would spend their time following His example instead of trying to figure out His mode of arrival and departure, they would come nearer getting confidence in their Church.

  19. Robert William Dale was a Congregational pastor. Writing on doing the will of God, he reflects on principles God will judge the world (Mt 25:31ff). Jesus won’t ask about your sympathy for the hungry and miserable. Jesus will tell the righteous that they gave him meat when hungered.

    John Piper, in contrast, has an alternative view, that Jesus will ask about bible reading.

    How can you respond to Jesus’s needs beyond mere sympathy?

  24. We explore the true essence of gain and loss in life, emphasizing our relationship with Jesus. Learn why relying on good works alone leads to spiritual loss, and how to embrace God’s love through service. True gain comes from being with Him. #GainVsLoss #RelationshipWithJesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithOverWorks #GoodWorks #ChristianFaith #GodsLove #BiblicalTruth #Forgiveness #PurposeInLife

  25. A quotation from The Bible

       Be careful that you don’t practice your religion in front of people to draw their attention. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
       Whenever you give to the poor, don’t blow your trumpet as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may get praise from people. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. But when you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that you may give to the poor in secret. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.
       When you pray, don’t be like hypocrites. They love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners so that people will see them. I assure you, that’s the only reward they’ll get. But when you pray, go to your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.
     
       [Προσέχετε [δὲ] τὴν δικαιοσύνην ὑμῶν μὴ ποιεῖν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὸ θεαθῆναι αὐτοῖς· εἰ δὲ μή γε, μισθὸν οὐκ ἔχετε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν τῷ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
       Ὅταν οὖν ποιῇς ἐλεημοσύνην, μὴ σαλπίσῃς ἔμπροσθέν σου, ὥσπερ οἱ ὑποκριταὶ ποιοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς ῥύμαις, ὅπως δοξασθῶσιν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σοῦ δὲ ποιοῦντος ἐλεημοσύνην μὴ γνώτω ἡ ἀριστερά σου τί ποιεῖ ἡ δεξιά σου, ὅπως ᾖ σου ἡ ἐλεημοσύνη ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι.
       Καὶ ὅταν προσεύχησθε, οὐκ ἔσεσθε ὡς οἱ ὑποκριταί, ὅτι φιλοῦσιν ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς γωνίαις τῶν πλατειῶν ἑστῶτες προσεύχεσθαι, ὅπως φανῶσιν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀπέχουσιν τὸν μισθὸν αὐτῶν. σὺ δὲ ὅταν προσεύχῃ, εἴσελθε εἰς τὸ ταμεῖόν σου καὶ κλείσας τὴν θύραν σου πρόσευξαι τῷ πατρί σου τῷ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ· καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου ὁ βλέπων ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ ἀποδώσει σοι.]

  26. Marcus Dods, Free Church of Scotland minister, quotes the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Slavery violates the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Some need to be reminded that enslaved persons have the same feelings as ourselves.

    How can you look afresh at your adversaries, people you might be hurting, as if they were a person of the same passions and feelings as yourself?

  36. Robert MacCulloch, Scottish minister, on Isaiah 58:7, bringing the poor that are cast out into thy house. This frequent command is from God and urged by humanity, the love of God, the grace of God, and his promises. It is our joy.

    How many Christians, even liberal ones, are ready to bring “the poor that are cast out into thy house”? Do conservatives seek to week out tenderness?

    How can you practice this duty?

  43. A quotation from Carlyle:

    «
    Beautiful it is to see and understand that no worth, known or unknown, can die even in this earth. The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green; it flows and flows, it joins itself with other veins and veinlets; one day, it will start forth as a visible perennial well.
