All this week we're looking at some four-hundred year old guidance and advice from the Puritan writer, Thomas Brooks. Specifically, Brooks has listed five remedies to the enemy of the soul's  strategy to get us to see following Jesus as a dangerous, losing, and suffering-filled way of life. Brooks offers great insights for us to share with our kids as they face opposition in this world. Today, Brooks tells us to consider that we gain more in our service of God and by following God as we face troubles and afflictions, than we can ever possibly lose by following God. Jesus said it this way: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet forfeit their soul?” Thomas Brooks uses the metaphor of money when he says that for every penny a Christian might lose in the service of God, he in turn will gain a dollar. Our light afflictions will result in the weight of glory. Life as a follower of Christ in today's culture is difficult. Still, it is the path to flourishing now and for eternity!

Brooks offers great insights for us to share with our kids as they face opposition in this world. Today, Brooks tells us to always remember that difficulties and troubles in this world are actually a way that God grows us in our faith. Specifically, Brooks writes these words: “God knows how to deliver us from troubles by troubles, from afflictions by afflictions, and from dangers by dangers. In my own life I've seen this to be true. Sometimes God saves us from ourselves and our foolishness through times of difficulty. While these times have been hard, I would not, in hindsight, trade them for anything. God's curriculum for our growth and flourishing often-times comes through difficulty.

Brooks offers great insights for us to share with our kids as they face opposition in this world. Today, Brooks tells us to remember that all of the troubles and dangers we will face as followers of Jesus are only temporal and momentary. And, we must also remember that if we waver and walk away from faith because of these troubles and dangers, we open ourselves up to a host of other temporal, spiritual, and eternal dangers. In other words, following Jesus will result in contempt and opposition from others while we are on this earth. But choosing to please men rather than God will result in our loss of our relationship with God. We must always remember that faithfulness to God is our calling.

Brooks offers great insights for us to share with our kids as they face opposition in this world. Today, Brooks tells us to never, ever forget that great cloud of witnesses who precedes us in the faith who are now with Christ. We read about these saints in Hebrews, chapter eleven. God has given us a rich history of sisters and brothers in Christ who, while they were living, endured tremendous troubles and hardships because of their faith in God. Yet, they remained faithful to God, pushing forward and shining as bright lights in their dark cultures and times. Whether we are adults, children, or teens, God calls us to faithful living in spite of cultural opposition. Let's be sure to teach this to our kids.

Almost four hundred years ago, the Puritan writer Thomas Brooks wrote a book about the strategies Satan uses to derail us from Christian growth. I've found his words to be very timely for life in today's world. One devilish strategy that I consistently see in my own life and in the lives of kids is the tendency to be convinced that following Jesus is way too dangerous, risky, and filled with the promise of suffering. Brooks then goes on to list five remedies to this strategy of Satan. I want to share one of these remedies with you each day this week. And, I want to challenge you to teach these remedies to your kids. The first remedy is this: remember that God has promised that even though you will encounter troubles and difficulties in this world, those troubles and difficulties will not harm you. God is with us. He looks on us with favor. We are in union with Him. And, he's promised that no one and nothing can take these things away because our souls are secure in our Father's hands.

Segment 1: • John MacArthur has contracted pneumonia and may soon meet his Savior. • Why do we mourn when a believer has their best day ahead? • God's church will endure; Dr. MacArthur's ministry points us to Christ, not himself. Segment 2: • “Death is a believer's coronation day”—a reminder from Thomas Brooks. • Church fellowship now is just a glimpse of heavenly fellowship. • We grieve, yet with hope, knowing eternity is coming. Segment 3: • Remembering when you first heard Dr. MacArthur's teaching. • Local pastors are unsung heroes who guard and grind for their churches. • Encourage your pastor; he's God's chosen shepherd for you. Segment 4: • Pastors carry unseen burdens; few know their struggles. • Faithful pastors quietly sacrifice for their flocks, week after week. • If Dr. MacArthur blessed you, remember: your local pastor blesses you even more. ___ Thanks for listening!

A new MP3 sermon from Grace Audio Treasures is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The funeral Subtitle: Puritan Devotional Speaker: Thomas Brooks Broadcaster: Grace Audio Treasures Event: Devotional Date: 7/8/2025 Bible: 1 Corinthians 15:35-37; Philippians 3:20 Length: 0 min.

The funeral Thomas Brooks, "The Transcendent Excellency of a Believer's Portion above All Earthly Portions" (You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.) A Christian knows that death shall be the funeral of all . . . his sins, his sorrows, his afflictions, his temptations, his vexations, his oppressions, his persecutions. He knows that death shall be the resurrection of all . . . his hopes, his joys, his delights, his comforts, his contentments. He knows that death shall bring him to a more clear, full, perfect, and constant enjoyment of God! This makes him sweetly and triumphantly to sing out, "O death! where is your sting? O grave! where is your victory?" 1 Corinthians 15:35-37

Galatians 5:22-23 ESV22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. • • •Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. • • •Matthew 19:16-22 ESV16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. • • •1. Goodness Defined—Rom. 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.—Acts 10:38 “...how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.—Greek word - agathosune meaning to be ‘upright or positive moral qualities of the most general nature.' Goodness implies some type of activity involving others, ‘to be good to' or ‘to benefit.'In this point to mean generosity and to act of generous giving.—Isaiah 63:7 I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord, the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has granted us, and the great goodness to the house of Israel that he has granted them according to his compassion, according to the abundance of his steadfast love.—Gal. 6:9-10 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.—Kindness and goodness - going hand-in-hand throughout Scripture. Kindness is a sincere desire for the happiness of others; goodness is the activity calculated to advance that happiness. Goodness is kindness in action.—Good Samaritan story (all were showing kindness, only one showed goodness)—Umbrella term: God's love, mercy, longsuffering, lovingkindness=all manifestations of his goodness. ‘It is the absence of any imperfection or defect, and the presence of perfect holiness.' Does not stay with God, but is poured out in tangible ways. (The Character of Christ –Cruse) • • •2. The Only One Who is Good—Jesus said “Why do you ask me what is good?” Matt. 19:17—Found in the very heart and essence of God: Charnock - This is the true and genuine character of God. He is good, he is goodness, good in himself, good in his essence, good in the highest degree, possessing whatever is comely, excellent, desirable; the highest good, because the first good…All the names of God are comprehended in this one good.—Ps. 143:10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!—Songs we sing and associate with God's goodness: “Good, good Father, Goodness of God, King of my Heart,—Creation story - God saw that it was all good each day; when got to humankind, it was very good.—Providence - Matt. 7:11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!—We ask Jesus what is good, because he is the provider of good things: that breath you took, today [the day of salvation] and our response should be thanksgiving.—Jesus - He Obeys, submits, serves, fulfills Gods law.—Quote by Thomas Brooks, “Christ is the greatest good, the choicest good, the chiefest good, the most suitable good, the most necessary good. He is a pure good, a real good, a total good, an eternal good, and a soul-satisfying good.” • • •3. Goodness is Kindness in Action—Keep the commandments - Rich ruler was to submit and fulfill law (Matt. 19:17)—“Commandments Jesus gave example of were about others (#5–#10)—Goodness is full of kindness/compassion: via Pastor Trinity - Compassion is love in action. Compassion moves us in our depths or inner being to respond to the needs around us.—One commentator says, “True goodness is not merely impulsive, but rational and considerate–it will therefore pause, and be at some trouble to inquire what service, and how best may it be rendered…Goodness should be willing to give time, and thought, and patience, and even labor; not mere money and kind words and compassionate looks.”—Rich ruler thought he put in effort to be good, even asking of Jesus, but was impulsive and did not want to live out kindness.—Follow up on Good Samaritan—Goodness as a redemptive work: Need to look towards redemption.—Rom. 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. • • •4. “Lord what would you have me do?”—Rich ruler left sad; Our conflict: its hard to love God and others.—Our salvation hinges on the fact that Jesus Christ, in perfect goodness, fulfilled these two great commandments.—Limitation to our threshold (Jesus was the cross)—Professor who wanted to give everybody 95% on final test but had to be unanimous. Out of 300 students 20 said ‘no' Professor asked for reasons and almost all 20 stated that they didn't want others to get the good grade bc they didn't earn/they wanted to competitively be better.”—Eph. 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.—God has prepared good works for each of us, consistent with our gifts and circumstances. We should pray “Lord, what will you have me do?” and then we should do it.—Our nature changes gives us capacity to be good; We all have weak moments - the goal is not to try and do more, but believe more; to abide in Christ.—3 john 11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.—Jesus and Simon Peter - John 21; Be good because I am good • • •Application:Doing good with jobDoing good with familyDoing good to all people ‘God's goodness, combined with his love of righteousness, moves him to make sinners happy by making them holy.”

This week onThe Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I'm wading into the intersection of tarot and cognition with Dr. Thomas Brooks, a research psychologist, educator, and tarot enthusiast. Together, we explore how tarot fosters cognitive flexibility, promotes self-reflection, and helps us hold complex dualities.We discuss the power of projection, the role of archetypes like The Emperor, and how pattern recognition can guide deeper insights. Thomas also shares his journey of blending tarot with academia, how this tool can reframe our thinking, and why he doesn't currently read tarot for himself.Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation about tarot as a cognitive tool!You can find Dr. Thomas Brooks on Instagram@impulsegnometarot, or check out his podcast,The Psychosocial Distancing Podcast. Want to find out all of the ways you can connect with me live this month?

In this series, so far we've explored the interconnected pillars of flourishing: justice, mercy, and humility. Today, we turn our attention to the critical role of personal piety—of walking humbly before God and standing firm in spiritual warfare. To guide us, we'll draw inspiration from Isaiah 61 and the life and teachings of the great Puritan preacher Thomas Brooks. What started out as a four part series has turned into a vibrant series that will run every Monday and Thursday in January. As you listen to each episode, you immediately recognize that God's flourishing bears no resemblance to the attributes the world promotes as avenues to flourishing.

We are by nature grumblers and malcontents. We take offence easily, and become critical when our desires and expectations are disappointed. Paul Levy, in this week's main article, helps us to see that these tendencies aren't mere quirks, or 'weaknesses', but sins of great consequence in the church of God. Moreover, they are sins to which we are often tempted at times of great growth and kingdom advance. Through a discussion of the beginning of Acts 6, he helps us see how this dynamic was negotiated by the apostles, and how we can take evasive action against it today.   Featured Content: – 'The Gospel, Grumbling, and Growth', Paul Levy, Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 735, December 2024. – Excerpt from United We Stand (Pocket Puritans), by Thomas Brooks (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 2009).

He writes at https://ealinglevy.wordpress.com/ Thomas Brooks was a Puritan gospel minister. The scant amount of information known about him comes largely from his writing. Born in 1608, he entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1625. He spent several years at sea, perhaps as chaplain, and was licensed as a preacher by 1640. After England's Civil War, Brooks served as pastor of London's Thomas Apostle; in 1648, he preached before the House of Commons. He later became the subject of controversy when he refused baptism and the Lord's Supper to people that weren't walking faithfully with the Lord. Thomas Brooks books include a six-volume set titled The Works of Thomas Brooks, with each book also available individually. Other books include Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices (written to help people resist Satan's seductive power), The Secret Key to Heaven ( which emphasizes the importance of private prayer) and Heaven on Earth, which reminds people there is no greater privilege than to be a child of God.   Explore the work of the Banner of Truth: www.banneroftruth.org Subscribe to the Magazine (print/digital/both): www.banneroftruth.org/magazine Leave us a voice message: www.speakpipe.com/magazinepodcast

Various October 27, 2024 SS.From the book 'Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices' by Thomas Brooks

Satan's first trick to lure people into sin is to show them the bait while hiding the hook; to offer the golden cup but conceal the poison inside; to highlight the sweetness, pleasure, and benefits of giving in to sin, while hiding the inevitable suffering and misery that follow.   This is how he deceived the first humans. The serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. God knows that when you eat the fruit, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:4-5).   “You'll have your eyes opened and become like gods!” That's the bait—the pleasure, the sweetness, the gain. But what he hides is the hook—the shame, the anger of God, and the loss that will come for sure.   There are two ways our eyes can be opened: the mind can be opened to joy and contemplation, or the body to shame and confusion. Satan promises the first but delivers the second. He cheated Adam and Eve, offering them an apple in exchange for paradise, just like he continues to deceive countless people today.  That's a paraphrase from Thomas Brooks

Adversity has slain her thousand, but prosperity her ten thousand. — Thomas Brooks

Psalm 29:3–4 David repeatedly refers to the voice of the Lord in this psalm. On seven occasions he talks of the way in which God speaks powerfully through creation. He graphically describes the way in which God's power and majesty are displayed in thunder and lightning. He speaks of the way in which this power is so great that it shatters the cedars of Lebanon and even makes the wilderness shake. Many of the psalms are focused on the worship of God in the temple but this psalm encourages worshippers to go outside and recognise the awesome power of God in creation. This is a good challenge for all of us. It's so easy for us to allow our experience of God to be trapped by our personal walk with him or the life of our church. Both of those aspects of the Christian life are vital, but we should never neglect to look outside and see how powerful and majestic he is. We all need to take time to look at this amazing world and acknowledge that it is the work of our awesome Creator God. Thomas Brooks, the 17th-century preacher, expressed this well when he wrote: “What are the heavens, the earth, the sea, but a sheet of royal paper, written all over with the wisdom and love of God?” What I love about this question is that Brooks is encouraging us to expect God to speak to us from creation. I wonder how you will hear the voice of the Lord speaking to you today as you look at his creation. Question When do you hear God speaking to you most clearly from creation, and what have you heard him say? Prayer Creator God, I worship you for this amazing world that you have made. Forgive me that I have so often taken it
for granted. Help me to listen more carefully for your voice in creation. Amen

Thomas Brooks, 1659, London. -I was silent- I would not open my mouth, for You are the one who has done this-- Psalm 39-9 The choicest saints are 'born to troubles as the sparks fly upwards', Job 5-7. 'Many are the afflictions of the righteous- but the Lord delivers him out of them all.' Psalm 34-19. If they were many, and not troubles, then, as it is in the proverb, the more the merrier- or if they were troubles and not many, then the fewer the better. But God, who is infinite in wisdom and matchless in goodness, has ordered troubles, yes, many troubles to come trooping in upon us on every side. As our mercies-so our crosses seldom come single- they usually come treading one upon the heels of another- they are like April showers, no sooner is one over but another comes. And yet, Christians, it is mercy, it is rich mercy, that every affliction is not an execution, that every correction is not a damnation. The higher the waters rise, the nearer Noah's ark was lifted up to heaven- the more your afflictions are increased, the more your heart shall be raised heavenward.
