Ignorance is NOT a gift of the Holy Spirit. Stupidity is NOT Christian Fruit. Wrapping it in Piety does NOT make it a Christian Virtue; instead it becomes an offence to God and must be repented of!!!!

Westminster Confession of Faith
Rated • 1 review • reformed.org
A truly great Christian Confession. Worth reading. They don't make them with such detail anymore these days. For the most part they can't! They don't know how. Today we have "Dummy Down" Christianity which wants to know Jesus without really knowing Him through His Word, which is crucial. For those that can produce such confessions; they do and then point to the old ones to show that true Christianity hasn't changed because God never changes. A true Christian Hungers for Gods' Word and searches it to learn and grow. A true Christian never thinks that they have learned it all but grieves that they don't know more! The phonies balk at Studying His Word and claim that they know Him by His Spirit and they don't need His Word. The fact that they say such things is proof that they don't know Him. God the Holy Spirit "Breathed" the scriptures and those in whom the Spirit of the Lord resides would not ignore the scriptures but would hunger for them and the wisdom found in its pages.
This is good reading! Please do!

Puritan Prayers
Rated • 5 reviews • christianity • eternallifeministries.org
I have the Book called "The Valley of Vision: A Collection of Puritan Prayers & Devotions", edited by Arthur Bennett. This stuff is great reading for the humble and true Christian. Many of these prayers when read will greatly enrich your own prayer life. Read them as devotionals and ponder each line and how it fits the scriptures. Read them ALL!
The Valley of Vision
Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision, where I live in the depths but see Thee in the heights; hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold Thy glory. Let me learn by paradox that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high, that the broken heart is the healed heart, that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that the repenting soul is the victorious soul, that to have nothing is to possess all, that to bear the cross is to wear the crown, that to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision. Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells, and the deeper the wells the brighter Thy stars shine; let me find Thy light in my darkness, Thy life in my death, Thy joy in my sorrow, Thy grace in my sin, Thy riches in my poverty, Thy glory in my valley.
Resting on God
O God, most high, most glorious, the thought of Thine infinite serenity cheers me, for I am toiling and moiling, troubled and distressed, but Thou art for ever at perfect peace. Thy designs cause thee no fear or care of fulfillment, they stand fast as the eternal hills. Thy power knows no bond, Thy goodness no stint. Thou bringest order out of confusion, and my defeats are Thy victories: The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
I come to Thee as a sinner with cares and sorrows, to leave every concern entirely to Thee, every sin calling for Christ's precious blood; revive deep spirituality in my heart; let me live near to the great Shepherd, hear His voice, know its tones, follow its calls. Keep me from deception by causing me to abide in the truth, from harm by helping me to walk in the power of the Spirit. Give me intenser faith in the eternal verities, burning into me by experience the things I know; Let me never be ashamed of the truth of the gospel, that I may bear its reproach, vindicate it, see Jesus as its essence, know in it the power of the Spirit.
Lord, help me, for I am often lukewarm and chill; unbelief mars my confidence, sin makes me forget Thee. Let the weeds that grow in my soul be cut at their roots; grant me to know that I truly live only when I live to Thee, that all else is trifling. Thy presence alone can make me holy, devout, strong and happy. Abide in me, gracious God.
