“Prick Bunyan anywhere and he will bleed Bible.” Let it not be said of the king’s heralds: Prick him and he bleeds movies. – John Piper
Give Everything to God…
Jul 4
Give everything to God, like John Newton…
I hope you will seek Him while you are young–then you will be happy, and I shall rejoice. Nothing will satisfy me but this! Though I should live to see you settled to the greatest advantage in temporal matters–unless you love Him, and live in His fear and favor–you would be quite miserable! I think it would nearly break my heart; for, next to your dear mamma, there is nothing so dear to me in this world as you! But the Lord gave you to me–and many a time upon my knees, I have given you back to Him. Therefore I hope you must, and will, and shall be His!
…Written to his daughter Betsy (14 years old).

This is just another way of saying, “Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21)
