My Utmost For His Highest

Faith Defenders

  • KNOW, BELIEVE AND KEEP TRUSTING IN HIS LOVE September 9, 2010
    Anyone can keep his joy when he's riding high in the Holy Ghost, not being tried or tempted. But God wants us to keep ourselves in his love at all times—especially in our temptations. The apostle John tells us very simply how we can keep ourselves in God's love: "We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he 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.

“Out of the wreck I rise” Oswald Chambers

May 19th.

“OUT OF THE WRECK I RISE”

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” Romans 8:35

God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says – “I will be with him in trouble.” It does not matter what actual troubles in the most extreme form get hold of a man’s life, not one of them can separate him from his relationship to God. We are “more than conquerors in all these things.” Paul is not talking of imaginary things, but of things that are desperately actual; and he says we are super-victors in the midst of them, not [...]

Au revoir, dear sister

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 [...]

This is not the end, but truly just the beginning

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 [...]

Reality in our Christian walk

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.

Perhaps you wish you could have [...]

‘The Curse Motif’ by RC Sproul and ‘Not faith, but Christ’ by Horatius Bonar

Two incredibly good pieces on the Cross of Christ.  First a video by RC Sproul and then a written message by Horatius Bonar.

Be so blessed by them both.

Not faith, but Christ — Horatius Bonar

OUR justification is the direct result of our believing the gospel; our knowledge of our own justification comes from believing God’s promise of justification to every one who believes these [...]

Supernaturally brought to Life

Some thoughts I have been having today.

Until a few years ago when  asked about the Lord, after I got my wits about me after frantically trying to work out how exactly to word myself, I usually ended up having very little to say, if anything at all and would be left with a feeling of utter impotence.

I mean, I knew stuff – lots of theory, but whenever I tried to explain about the theory as a fact or reality in my own life, the words just rang hollow…even to my own ears and so the words just remained as they [...]
