mgfchurch: “I believe the promises of God enough to venture an eternity on them.” – Isaac Watts
TodAshby: Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Savior die?
Would He devote that sacred head,
For such a worm as I?
Was it for crimes that I have done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
~ Isaac Watts
TodAshby: Good advice for our day:
“My dear children, pray to God to give you the knowledge of the truth, and to keep you from error, for it is a very dangerous time we are like to live in.”
~ Isaac Watts Sr.
TodAshby: I’m not ashamed to own my Lord
Or to defend His Cause,
Maintain the honor of His Word,
The glory of the cross.
~ Isaac Watts
TodAshby: “Do not entertain any hard thoughts of God or of His ways, because His people are persecuted for them; for Jesus Christ Himself was persecuted to death by wicked men… and the holy apostles and prophets were cruelly used for serving God in His own way.” ~ Isaac Watts Sr.
GregJudy06: There's not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known; and clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne, while all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care, and everywhere that man can be, Thou, God, art present there.
(Isaac Watts, 1674-1748)

CSLCHSnMore: "Abandon the secret chamber and the spiritual life will decay." ~ Isaac Watts
TodAshby: See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
~ Isaac Watts
TodAshby: Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
~ Isaac Watts
TodAshby: When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gains I count but loss,
And pour contempt on my pride.

mpatrickriley: Glory to God the Trinity,
Whose name has mysteries unknown;
In essence One, in persons Three,
A social nature, yet alone.
Isaac Watts
CarolKentSpeaks: “O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.” Isaac Watts
parrotedwords: Truth in this world is not always attended and supported by the wisest and safest methods; and error, though it can never be maintained by just reasoning, yet may be artfully covered and defended. An ingenious writer may put excellent colours upon his own mistakes.
— Isaac Watts
TodAshby: Let everlasting glories crown
Thy head, my Savior and my Lord;
Thy hands have brought salvation down,
And writ the blessings in Thy Word.
~ Isaac Watts
disntr: For some reason, I can't imagine Isaac Watts, Theodore Beza, or John Newton affirming men like Todd White. This is why the modern charismatic worship movement needs to be abandoned by Bible-believing churches.

largedeviation: The architects of modern science are quite open about their influences. For example Einstein had a photo of Faraday on his wall, who in turn was influenced heavily by Isaac Watts' "Improvement of the Mind."
The paths are there to walk, if you wish. Modern gurus won't help much.

61harpy: I led a couple of pieces, ones I've led many times before. One is an Isaac Watts text with music by a friend from Chicago, and named for the street where she (and, later, I) lived. I hadn't thought how appropriate the words were for these recent years until I was singing it. /1

Your oil anoints my head.

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
