Bøger af Thomas Watson

Watson schetst in deze bundel eerst de droevige toestand van de kerk in haar verdrukking. Daarna verklaart hij uitvoerig en zeer leerzaam dat 'alle dingen voor Gods kinderen moeten meewerken ten goede'. Hij bezingt hun geluk met zulke zeldzaam liefelijke klanken, dat de aandacht van de lezer getrokken wordt naar God de Gever en Zijn gaven. Watson's uitleg over 'Alles is uwe', heeft zo'n aangename melodie dat de onuitsprekelijke rijkdom van de gelovigen hen doet verlangen om eeuwig bij de Heere te zijn.

In dit zevende deel van de serie 'Al de werken van Thomas Watson' breekt Watson een langs voor tevredenheid en oprechte vergenoeging. Die het leest krijgt er zin in."Een vergenoegd christen draagt de hemel in zich. In zo'n hart mag iets van God bespeurd worden. Een onvergenoegd christen is als een onstuimige zee. Door kracht van vergenoeging wordt de zee kalm. Daar is het lieflijk aangezicht van Gods gunst, het aangezicht van Christus, ja een vertoning van al Zijn genaden. O wat een rustdag wordt in een vergenoegd hart gevierd! Wat een hemel! Een vergenoegd christen is als Noach in de ark; hoewel de ark door de golven op en neer gedreven werd, kon Noach daar binnen zitten en zingen. Als onze uitwendige toestand door de wind van Gods voorzienigheid gebeukt wordt, blijft ons hart door heilige vergenoeging vast staan in de Heere."

Excerpt: "Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward;" therefore we all need to learn the same lesson as Paul. "I have learned," he said "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content," Philippians 4. 11. Believers, especially, wish to attain to a holy equanimity in their tribulations and under the stresses caused by our increasingly secular society...

This treatise by the renowned Puritan Thomas Watson was originally published in 1671 and never again until this edition. It was one of his rarest works for over three centuries. Watson's perceptive discussion on the devastating effects of sin includes four parts: 1. The Mischief of Sin 2. The Desperateness of Sinners 3. An Alarm to Sinners 4. Hell's Furnace Heated Hotter Appended is a scarce treatment by Watson, "The Mystery of the Lord's Supper."

These are a collection of the eminent Puritan pastor, Thomas Watson. Reading a few of these quotes is a great way to start a devotional time, the morning, or end an evening to help one's heart be centered on Christ and his work and ways.

Based on Philippians 4:11, I have learned, in whatever state I am therewith to be content, Watson considers the great dishonor done to almighty God by the sin of discontent. The doctrine of Christian contentment is clearly illustrated and profitably applied. The special cases where, through changes in providences, discontentment most commonly arises are examined and preservatives are applied to the soul.

From the newly discovered Jamestown Shakespeare Manuscripts comes a 100% solution to the greatest mystery ever conceived by the mind of man: Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The historical Sherlock Homes (not to be confused with Holmes, his fictional namesake) investigates the deaths of Prince Hamlet's father and uncle, the queen mother, Hamlet's school chums, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's father and brother, and of the sulky prince himself. Homes plucks the heart from Hamlet's mystery long before Sigmund Freud attributed the young hero's problems to an unresolved Oedipal Complex.
