If today is like most days, your email Inbox will once again find a way to gather messages the way clean black slacks collect lint.
Some of those messages will be important. Most, lets face it, either feel like a waste of time and energy, or they truly are a waste of time and energy.
Not so with Grace Gems.
Grace Gems is a web-site with Christian devotionals, sermons, books, commentaries, and more.
The purpose of the web-site is:
To humble the pride of man, to exalt the grace of God in salvation and to promote real holiness in heart and life.
But, the real "Gem" about Grace Gems is the daily devotional message they can send to your Inbox.
Many were written by Puritans, some are more contemporary, all are Christ honoring and thought provoking.
Here is a recent example, written by Samuel Davies:
"What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world--yet loses his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
Do you esteem the pleasures of sin so sweet, so solid, so lasting--as to run the risk of intolerable, eternal misery--rather than part with them?
He is a mad-man with whom fleeting fleshly pleasures, the sordid pleasures of sin--outweigh an eternity of perfect happiness. He is certainly not in his right mind--who would rather be tormented in hell forever--than lead a holy life, and labor to escape the wrath to come!
"Oh, what folly it is: for a cup of pleasure--drink a sea of wrath! Sin will be bitter in the end. The pleasure of sin is soon gone--but the sting remains!" Thomas Watson
