No matter how unsettled the world becomes, God's people can relax and keep their joy flowing, because our Lord has promised special protection when it is most needed. Didn't God have an emergency plan for the children of Israel during the worldwide famine? He sent Joseph ahead to Egypt, promoted him to prime minister and filled the warehouses with […]
What is the Gospel? I briefly covered this in my article, The mysterious case of the disappearing gospel. But the topic is so important that I return to it here. St. Paul defines the Gospel very clearly and concisely in his first letter to the Corinthians: Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to [...] […]

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.
“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 [...]

I was so blessed this afternoon reading the wonderful, adoring words of this Psalm…

1 Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous!
Praise befits the upright.
2 Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre;
make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
3 Sing to him a new [...]
Reading David Wilkerson’s Daily blog today, (and please do go and read it ) I was reminded of a post I wrote in September of 2008, most part of which is the title above.
It is one of those posts that is still very much a part of my life and I have [...]
A new year brings new things. What will 2010 bring for you and me?
Some people make new year’s resolutions with gusto, which more often than not, last but a few months and end up being sent packing to the “forgotten place of good intentions”
I rejoice with all my heart that in the Lord Jesus Christ, I have found repentance, forgiveness and salvation and that my life no longer belongs to me but to Him, that it is only through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit that I am able to call Him, my LORD.
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.
