Hearts Aflame

• The Hope of Heaven's Rest

  Step into Richard Baxter’s "The Saints’ Everlasting Rest" (1650), where he paints a breathtaking vision of heaven’s rest—a refuge from earth’s toil and tears (Hebrews 4:9). Beyond mere relief, it’s a vibrant eternity of joy and peace with Christ, promised to the weary (Revelation 14:13). Baxter urges us to loosen our grip on this world and fix our hearts on things above (Colossians 3:2). This episode ignites hope to endure, lifting our eyes to the rest secured by His blood.For your gift of any amount during April, we want to send you a complimentary copy of "The Precious Blood: The Benefits of the Atonement of Christ" by Dustin Benge.

• The Ruin of Sin and the Hope of Grace

  Journey into Edward Reynolds’ "Meditations on the Fall and Misery of Man" (1658), where he exposes sin’s ruin on humanity—shattering God’s image and plunging us into death (Romans 3:23, 6:23). From Adam’s fall, we’re broken, cursed, and lost. Yet Reynolds unveils a stunning hope: grace outshines sin’s darkness (Romans 5:20). Christ, the gift of eternal life, turns ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3), redeeming rebels into sons. This episode confronts our ruin and lifts us to grace’s triumph. For your gift of any amount for the month of March, we want to send you a complimentary copy of "Gospel Evidences of Saving Faith" by John Owen.

• Kill Sin

  In this weekend edition, we dive into Christopher Love’s "The Mortified Christian," where he delivers a stark truth: kill sin, or it kills you. Anchored in Colossians 3:5 and Romans 8:13, Love insists there’s no truce with sin—it’s a beast to slay daily, or it drags you to ruin. Christ died to free us, not to coddle our lusts; sparing them mocks His cross. This episode challenges us to wield the Spirit’s power, cut off sin (Matthew 5:30), and find peace in holiness.

This episode beckons us to turn from worldly shadows and find true delight in Christ alone (Psalm 73:25). Are you gazing at Him today?

• Seek Christ Now

  Join us as we delve into Thomas Shepard’s "The Sincere Convert," where he sounds an urgent alarm: seek Christ today, or risk losing Him forever. Grounded in Isaiah 55:6 and Matthew 11:28, Shepard warns that delay hardens hearts, heaps sins, and gambles with eternity—Esau’s tears came too late. Christ’s arms are open now, offering rest, but the door won’t stay ajar indefinitely. This episode presses us to ditch excuses and run to Him before time runs out. For your gift of any amount for the month of March, we want to send you a complimentary copy of "Gospel Evidences of Saving Faith" by John Owen.
