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.

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 [...]
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.
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 [...]
The cry of my heart has long been, “Lord, I want more of You!”
In this cry, is the full understanding that more of Him = less of me. This both costs everything and hurts more than can be told, as the Lord takes me through my ordinary life as He pleases. At times, [...]
September 13th. My Utmost for His Highest – Oswald Chambers
“I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.” John 17:4
Surrender is not the surrender of the external life, but of the will; when that is done, all is done. There are very few crises in life; the great crisis is the surrender of [...]
