  • FOLLOWING HOLINESS March 12, 2010
    God’s Word tells us in no uncertain terms: “Follow…holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). Here is the truth, plain and simple. Without the holiness that’s imparted by Christ alone—a precious gift we honor by leading a life devoted to obeying his every Word—none of us will see the Lord. And this refers not just to heaven, but to o […]

  • Bob DeWaay on the dangers of spiritual formation and spiritual disciplines March 18, 2010
    My friend Mike Ratliff presents a superb article by Bob DeWaay that gets to the heart of the problems inherent in spiritual formation and spiritual disciplines. As usual, Pastor DeWaay is Scriptural, clear, insightful and convincing. What more could you want? If you have read my article Spiritual growth? There’s an app for that, you’ll be [...] […]

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.

Oswald Chambers

March 18th.

SHALL I ROUSE MYSELF UP TO THIS?

“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 [...]

Again, can you hear the still, small voice?

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 [...]

Lets Talk About The Truth Of What Sin Really Is

The windows of heaven are open

My dear brother Mike over at Possessing the Treasure has posted a wonderful sermon by Rev. John P. Sartelle entitled Easy Preaching for Itchy Ears

In the light of that post, I wish to put down what Oswald Chambers has to say about Sin. I read this again yesterday morning [...]

Don’t you know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize?

God made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.

Part 1

Every now and again I get so excited and inspired by a life that was or is lived fully for the Lord. It is like a mini-explosion in me.  It is so encouraging and causes me to lift up my  heart [...]

Before The Throne of God Above

I feel very overwhelmed in my heart tonight. I am full of worship and awe but It feels like I have lips that are lame.  Sometimes there are just no words to express what one feels.  This old Hymn does it much better than I can. I will add the audio shortly.

DIFFUSIVENESS OF LIFE

Sanctification – Death and Life

What is Sanctification? How does it take place. What do I have to do to have this happen in my life? Know this: all who belong to the Lord are all going to go through it His way.

In the first writing, Oswald Chambers explains the Death side of Sanctification. Then He looks at [...]

Pray without Ceasing

A dear brother Mike, over at Possessing the Treasure, has written a post on prayer and we got into a short discussion about “unconscious consciousness” in the Lord.  I remembered a wee while ago that I wrote a post about this back in September 2008  and I wanted to share it again now.

This morning, I [...]
