Matthew 12:49

Proverbs 4:25
Don’t get distracted! Don’t get side-tracked! Keep looking straight ahead! “Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.”

Matthew 16:18
Isaac Dermout was not born a Baptist, and he never became a Baptist. He was a Protestant, born on this day in 1777, and eventually becoming chaplain to the King of the Netherlands. He and Dr. Anne Ypeij, professor of Theology in Gronigen, were commissioned by the king to investigate the Dutch Baptists.
