Samuel Bolton"We are too big in ourselves when we do well, and too little in Christ in our failings. O that we could learn to be nothing in ourselves in our strength, and to be all in Christ in our weakness!"

Persevere in Love
Practice love diligently. It is one of those graces, above all, which grow by constant exercise. Strive more and more to carry it into every little detail of daily life. Watch over your own tongue and temper throughout every hour of the day,–and especially in your dealing with children and near relatives. Remember the character of the excellent woman: “She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue” (Proverbs 31:26). Remember the words of Paul: “Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14).
Love should be seen in little things as well as in great ones. Remember, not least, the words of Peter:“Love each other deeply”; not a love which just barely is a flame, but a burning, shining fire, which everyone around us can see. (1 Peter 4:8) It may cost pains and trouble to keep these things in mind. There may be little encouragement from the example of others. But persevere. Love like this brings its own reward.

Family Devotions
| Daddy (reading the story of Jacob and Esau): | Who's the hairiest of our family? |
| Everyone collectively: | Sarah! |
| ...and apparently Dave is the smoothest. | |
| Our devos have such great personal application. |
"A disciplined mind is a mind that avoids the intoxicating elements and allurements of the world. We’re talking about somebody whose mind is clear, whose priorities are fixed, who has a spiritual steadfastness, who exercises self-control in their thinking, who has balanced priorities. You could even call it moral decisiveness because there are fixed principles in the mind. That’s why sound doctrine is so important, you have to have fixed principles in the mind in order to establish priorities of behavior, mental alertness. It’s the opposite of sort of whimsically careening through life in reckless self-indulgence at the response of your emotions to every option. It’s being able to clear out the clutter from life’s entanglements and sort out what really matters in your mind."

Matthew Henry"Those who teach by their doctrine must teach by their life, or else they pull down with one hand what they build up with the other."
