The Supremacy of Christ

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.
(Colossians 1:15-20 ESV)

Repentance is the vomit of the soul

"Thomas Brooks, a Puritan author, wrote, 'repentance is the vomit of the soul....' I have never met a person that likes to vomit, but we vomit because the body is rejecting something not good for it. It is true with repentance, a justified soul must reject the sins that plague it. It is messy, hard and painful and often leads to a humbling and suffering, but true repentance is worth it.
