Friends, this past Lord's Day I was especially edified by the morning Scripture reading and exposition from Psalms 42 and 43. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to listen:

The High Value of the Public Ordinances of Worship

Also, the venerable David Clarkson wrote a wonderful piece on the value of Public Worship that should be a treat to all:

Public Worship to be Preferred Before Private

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Thanks for this Joshua...

(By the way does anyone recommend picking up Clarkson's works?)

Ben, I would assume so. Here's a thread that links to his works online:

I, too was edified. Thank you Joshua, and thank you Rev. Todd Ruddell.
