Articles, Sermons, web-sites and thoughts from other people I’ve read through out the week. Here is a repost of a post I wrote on Familiarity Breeds Contempt-we all fall into it’s deadly trap. “Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow in his steps… who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: who his own…
(Octavius Winslow, “Christ, Our Righteousness”) “Those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified.” Romans 8:30 The justified sinner stands the closest to God, of any created being in the universe. Nearer to the throne of the Eternal, he cannot stand. What marvelous love! Who will dare assert that salvation is not, from first to last-of free, sovereign grace! Let your eye pierce…

The better we know people, the more likely we are to find fault with them. I know somebody this happen to, when Jesus returned to His hometown. Matthew 13:54-58 He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? 55 “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His…
(J. R. Miller, “Ministry of Comfort” 1898) “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men-to be seen by them.” Matthew 6:1 One of the most difficult lessons to learn, is self-effacement. It seems to us, that we have a right to put our name on every piece of work we do, and to get full honor for it. We like people to know of the good and virtuous things we do-the…
“God undertakes vengeance against sin not only by the means of Hell, but also by means of the cross. All sin will be avenged- severely, thoroughly and justly, either in Hell or at the cross. The sins of the unrepentant will be avenged in Hell; the sins of the repentant were avenged on the cross.” –John Piper I once heard this and I believe it to be true, that PRIDE is the incubator of…

“Spiritual Leadership is not won by promotion, but by prayers and tears. It is attained by much heart-searching and humbling before God; by self-surrender, a courageous sacrifice of every idol, a bold uncompromising, and uncomplaining embracing of the cross, and by an eternal, unfaltering looking unto Jesus crucified. This is a great price, but it must be unflinchingly paid by him who would be a real spiritual leader of men, a leader whose power…
Yesterday you read or heard Rick Warrens prayer for President Obama. Here are my thoughts. I felt it sounded like a planned speech rather than a heart felt prayer to a Holy God. It sounded like he was talking to me, like it was a short speech to America. where was the defense of the unborn child, where was the clear, clear statement that Jesus Christ is the only way. This was a perfect…
Almighty God, our Father: Everything we see, and everything we can’t see, exists because of you alone. It all comes from you, it all belongs to you, it all exists for your glory. History is your story. The Scripture tells us, “Hear, O Israel, the LORD is our God, the LORD is one.” And you are the compassionate and merciful one. And you are loving to everyone you have made. Now today we rejoice…
