As expected, I greatly enjoyed reading this excellent collection of poems by Malcolm Guite. I rarely read rhymed poetry anymore, and that in itself was a refreshing change. But rhyme or no, Guite is an excellent poet who keenly observes

Book cover for A Body of Divinity: Contained in Sermons upon the Westminster Assembly's Catechism
It is one of the best sights to see an old disciple; to see silver hairs adorned with golden virtues.

Thomas Watson
“[I] Appreciation. To glorify God is to set God highest in our thoughts, and to have a venerable esteem of him... There is in God all that may draw forth both wonder and delight; there is a constellation of all beauties; he is prima causa, the original and springhead of being, who sheds a glory upon the creature. We glorify God when we are God-admirers; admire his attributes, which are the glistening beams by which the divine nature shines forth; his promises which are the charter of free grace, and the spiritual cabinet where the pearl of price is hid; the noble effects of his power and wisdom in making the world, which is called 'the work of his fingers.' Psa 8:3. To glorify God is to have God-admiring thoughts; to esteem him most excellent, and search for diamonds in this rock only.”
Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity: Contained in Sermons upon the Westminster Assembly's Catechism

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“But have we also understood that in all this God has wanted and yet wants to test us, and in all this but one question is important--namely, whether we have peace with God or whether we have hitherto lived merely in an entirely worldly peace. How much grumbling, and unwillingness, how much contradiction and hatred of suffering has come to light among us! How much denial, stepping aside, how much fear whenever the cross of Jesus began to cast even the tiniest shadow over our personal lives!....But God will take no one into his kingdom whose faith has not proven genuine amid tribulation and suffering. 'It is through many persecutions we must enter the kingdom of God' (Acts 14:22). This is why we must learn to cherish our tribulation before it is too late. Indeed, we must learn to rejoice in them and to boast in them.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Meditations on the Cross

Samuel Johnson
“To me,' said the Princess, 'the choice of life is become less important; I hope hereafter to think only on the choice of eternity.”
Samuel Johnson, Rasselas: Prince of Abyssinia

Thomas Watson
“What is it to glorify God?

Glorifying God consists in four things: 1. Appreciation, 2. Adoration, 3. Affection, 4. Subjection. This is the yearly rent we pay to the crown of heaven.”
Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity: Contained in Sermons upon the Westminster Assembly's Catechism

Alistair Begg
“You will never know Jesus Christ as a reality in your life until you know him as a necessity.”
Alistair Begg
