One thing that can keep us going in the coming hard times is an understanding of God's glory. Now, this may sound like a high, lofty concept to you, one that's best left to theologians. But I'm convinced the subject of God's glory has very real, practical value for every true believer. By grasping it, we unlock the door to an overcoming l […]
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.
My beloved sister Marge, of whom I wrote about in my last post, has just gone home to the Lord. Her family were all with her and her real life is now beginning…
Take your glory Lord for her life, her testimony and her unwavering faith in you.
Praise you beloved Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:1-9
1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if [...]
I spent the best part of this morning with a very dearly beloved sister Marge, who is on her way home to the Lord, my sister Jill and my dad-in-law, Dee.
Marge is 81 and is dying, not only due to an illness in her lungs from many years of smoking, but also because it is the Lord’s timing.
As I sat with her and gently caressed her hand, she looked so beautiful and soft. Her white hair falling around her face in the little wisps the way that old folks hair goes sometimes and her skin still so incredibly young, but [...]
“Perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1
“Having therefore these promises.” I claim the fulfilment of God’s promises, and rightly, but that is only the human side; the Divine side is that through the promises I recognize God’s claim on me. For instance, am I realizing that my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, or have I a habit of body that plainly will not bear the light of God on it? By sanctification the Son of God is formed in me, then I have to transform my [...]
Do you ever find that your Christian walk is frustrating? Are you trying so hard to be a Christian, yet finding yourself instead so confused and flip-flopping from feeling you are on top of it, only to find yourself failing over an over and want to crawl away in guilt or lash out in anger at the seeming futility of trying to make it work or ‘feel real’? You may even be feeling so sick of yourself and feeling a failure and don’t see the point of going on.
I have two articles today that I wish to bring to your attention.
The first is from a very dear brother in the Lord, Tim, who lives in Australia and who has his own blog called Flee The Wrath. I have been so very blessed by this friendship over the past year or so.
Tim has written a really great article on the IGeneration of today’s church and chats about how much of the visible church has become so self / I / Me / Mine centred and the lure of the modern gadgetry and messages of how you can have the [...]
