My Utmost For His Highest

  • GOD’S ULTIMATE PLAN March 12, 2010
    By the close of the book of Genesis, God had chosen a small, insignificant people to become a teaching nation. He wanted to raise up a people who would be living examples of his goodness to the heathen world. So, to bring about such a testimony, God took his people into places that were beyond their control. He isolated Israel in a wilderness, where he alone […]

  • The mysterious case of the disappearing gospel March 13, 2010
    Have you noticed? Christian organizations everywhere are emphasizing the importance of engaging in practical ways with the poor and needy. The talk is of ‘impacting people’s lives for the Kingdom’ and ‘responding to Jesus’ call to look after the poorest and most vulnerable’. This is a good thing, surely? Is this not simply following the example that [...] […]

The Solas

Sola Scriptura
The Bible is the sole written divine revelation and alone can bind the conscience of believers absolutely.

Sola Fide
Justification is by faith alone. The merit of Christ imputed to us by faith is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are remitted.

Solus Christus
Christ is the only mediator through whose work we are redeemed.

Sola Gratia
Our salvation rests solely on the work of God’s grace for us and in us.

Soli Deo Gloria
To God alone belongs the glory.

My Goal Is God Himself

The heavens declare the glory of the Lord. Psalm 19:1

This morning I was replying to a post on another blog, and a Hymn written by Frederick Brook was brought to mind. It is a heart cry for God to do what He has to do in us,  at any cost to ourselves.

Whatever it takes [...]

The Forgiveness of God

When last did you think about the Lord’s forgiveness? I am not talking about glancing thoughts, I am talking about deep-on-your-knees-in-your-heart thinking.  We speak about it so easily, and freely and without really giving it much thought. We all do or have done, at some time or another. I know I certainly have.  But have [...]

I Will Not Be Inquired Of By You

My dear brother Mike Ratliff’s latest posting is a wonderful, wonderful read.  There is a gem of  a story pertaining to George Whitefield’s ministry from way back in 18th century England inside it, which is so absolutely awesome!

Get  yourself a cuppa then sit and read it and allow the Lord to minister to you through [...]

Ancients ‘had heart disease too’

What I find so interesting is that the scientists are fascinated by the findings of heart disease in these mummies in the articles below. We know (or perhaps at this moment you do not), that we are a fallen species and live in a fallen creation which has been cursed by God, and is doomed [...]

Still Human!

Some wonderful words of encouragement this Monday morning – living your life in the Lord in your everyday, regular ol’  life.

November 16th.

STILL HUMAN!

“Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31

The great marvel of the Incarnation slips into ordinary childhood’s life; the great marvel of the Transfiguration vanishes in the devil-possessed valley; [...]

Heaven

David Wilkerson put this on his blog on Friday. It is a glorious piece that fills me with such longing and joy and I trust it will do the same for you this Sunday!

Dying to self and suffering, go hand-in-hand

I was  reminded this morning  of a post I wrote over of the Faith Defender’s forum a year ago and feel led to now post it here. There is some good discussion going on below it from other brothers and sisters.

You may be reading this and find yourself in need of a word of comfort [...]

There Is Only One Gospel, One Way To Salvation And The Whole Idea is God’s.

John 14:6

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

‘Seeker Friendly’, is a term that most of us are probably familiar with.

It covers so much of what is seen as the visible church and is completely man-placating and not [...]
