Westminster Confession Of Faith – Lord’s Day 28

Chapter 18 – Of the Assurance of Grace and Salvation (Paragraphs 1-2)
I. Although hypocrites, and other unregenerate men, may vainly deceive themselves with false hopes and carnal presumptions: of being in the favour of God and estate of salvation; which hope of theirs shall perish: yet such as truly believe in the Lord Jesus, and love him in sincerity, endeavouring to walk in all good conscience before him, may in this life be certainly assured that they are in a state of grace, and may rejoice in the hope of the glory of God: which hope shall never make them ashamed.
II. This certainty is not a bare conjectural and probably persuasion, grounded upon a fallible hope; but an infallible assurance of faith, founded upon the divine truth of the promises of salvation, the inward evidence of those graces unto which these promises are made, the testimony of the Spirit of adoption witnessing with our spirits that we are the children of God; which Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance, whereby we are sealed to the day of redemption.

Sometimes it takes a little while to catch up with music projects I’ve backed on Kickstarter and the like.

Here’s the track Loving You from Becca Jordan, featuring Paul Zach.
It’s from her album Becoming Ordinary.

Loving you it always teaches me
Who I am and who I want to be.

Footy Tipping 2022 – NRL Round 17 / AFL Round 17

Does anyone really care about these rounds of football?
Except for coaches who are going to be sacked.
The week or so the NRL should lose one more, and the situation at North Melbourne in the AFL is so dire no truly qualified person would want to replace the incumbent if they disposed of him.
State of Origin? Queensland.
Last of the silly rounds in NRL. Melbourne were probably the most vulnerable, but Cronulla lose a few players, so not so much. Brisbane now seem most likely to lose to a lower ranked team.
AFL tips only have one different team picked to win from last weekend; all that means is that results notwithstanding nothing is really changed about where teams are standing.

(Draws count as correct)
NRL (last round 5/8; season tally 84/124)
Melbourne
Souths
Parramatta
Brisbane

AFL (last round 6/9; season tally 90/135)
Melbourne
Sydney
Collingwood
Richmond
Fremantle
Port Adelaide
Brisbane
Hawthorn
Carlton
