Book Review: 'The Scottish Covenanters' by J.G. Vos

  By Angela Wittman - Posted at Amazon.com : June 14, 2024 ( 4.0 out of 5 stars ) Good Overall History of the Scottish Covenanters For those new to the history of the Scottish Covenanters and the principles they stood for, this book will be helpful. I appreciate the author defining the issues of that time period and the differences of thought among the Covenanters. Many other works skim over their differences, but this book delves into the prevailing circumstances among those who compromised and the ones who remained faithful and strong to the end. I am much more appreciative of the Covenanters and their heritage after reading it. Direct Link:  The Scottish Covenanters - Kindle edition by Vos, J.G.. Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Book Review: The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: Expanded Edition

  The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert: Expanded Edition  Kindle edition by Butterfield, Rosaria Champagne @ Amazon.com.

This is one of those books and while the author repented of a past of homosexuality, the truths and observations she writes about are common to all of us who come from a background of worldliness into the church. If I may say one thing it's that Christians need to read this and learn from it. When I came to the Reformed Church (RPCNA) it was as though I had entered another world. I remember telling my pastor that it was as though I was in the Twilight Zone as I had become a Christian in a non-denominational church that did not sing Psalms or strictly observe the Regulative Principle. He and his wife were patient and gracious to this ignorant woman and my prayer is that t

'Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant'

“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:23 KJV Rev. Robert Wesley Morrow  (April 5, 1933 - September 30, 2023) Bob Morrow was my elder at the Sparta RPCNA - such a humble man! I was a member of the Sparta RP Church years ago and I remember how faithfully Bob watched over me and my son. It was at least a 30 min. drive from Sparta to my home in Waterloo and he would do home visits, plus discipled my son in a weekly Bible Study. These things are rare in today's society - but Bob held to the "old" ways. You can be assured he performed his duty as an elder to the best of his ability. He was quite the godly man.     I didn't know how much the good Lord had used him in ministry until reading his obituary as he never bragged, but instead displayed kindness and humilty.  I'm certain he has now heard "Well done, goo
