The Unholy Impulse of Bitterness and Anger (Kuyper)

Drawing from a devotion on Psalm 73:28 by Abraham Kuyper, this post attacks the attitudes that lead to bitterness.

Don’t Wait Until You Feel Like It

“Sometimes it even feels like we’d be faking it if we proceeded with prayer, Bible reading, or going to church without the proper spiritual feelings in place. But I’d like to suggest that we wouldn’t be faking it.Instead, by doing what we ought to do even when we don’t feel like it, we’d be battling our fleshly nature, what the Bible calls our “old man.”

Yes, All Things, In Fact

“Coming to grips with God’s all-encompassing providence requires a massive shift in how we look at the world.  It requires changing our vantage point—from seeing the cosmos as a place where man rules and God responds, to beholding a universe where God creates and constantly controls with sovereign love and providential power.”
