Spurgeon on Depression over at Pyromaniacs, posted by Phil Johnson… Some years ago, I was the subject of fearful depression of spirit. Certain troublous events had happened to me; I was also unwell, and my heart sank within me. Out of the depths I was forced to cry unto the Lord. Just before I went away to Mentone for rest, I suffered greatly in body, but far more in soul, for my spirit was…
Colonel (retired) Jeffrey N. Williams, an astronaut since 1996, has flown three space flights, including one mission aboard the space shuttle Atlantis and two expeditions to the International Space Station. He spoke at the Truth Matters Conference at Grace Community Church and spoke of God’s work from space, The work of His hands… “Almost a hundred years ago, Benjamin Warfield, who you may be familiar with, wrote something I came across a little while…
I always get a sense of peace, hope and joy that overwhelms me around this time of year, that Jesus death was so sufficient that He loved the whole world John 3:16 giving Himself as a ransom for all 1 Timothy 2:5, 6 and takes their sins away John 1:29. We read that He was reconciling the world to Himself 2 Corinthians 5:19, 20. Christ was a propitiation for our sins and those of…
“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know– this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. Acts 2:22-23 The KJB says “Him, being delivered by the determinate…
Say we came to church every Lord’s Day with our own personal interests in mind, like for instance, all of them. We have certain expectations like what Hymns to sing… I didn’t like that Hymn, the sermon was really good but! The pews are so hard. Again, somebody is in my seat, now where are we going to sit? The music is way to loud, too soft… What about me? What about my interests!…
The Agony of the Cup (Mark 14:32-42) “In the thirty-three years of our Lord’s life in this world, as God incarnate in human flesh, He had been constantly exposed to the sorrows of life, very well aware of them as He was aware of absolutely everything not only what was visible, and what was knowable outside of Him, but what He knew because He knew what the heart of man was like, meant that…
May Your love be the daily theme of my meditations, and the constant joy of my heart! I hope this would be the prayer of our hearts as we go to fellowship on todays Lord’s Day and worship the One we love! This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, “The stone which the builders rejected, This became the very corner stone,” 1 Peter 2:7 O blessed Jesus, Your love…
Boundaries by Phil Johnson… We’re often told by gurus of church-growth and guardians of postmodern values in the evangelical community that we mustn’t erect “boundaries.” I gather from the way such comments are often bandied about that the word boundaries is supposed to have totally negative connotations. Honestly: I don’t see why. I can understand how worldly people… Read the rest Here On Cars, Vows and the Slow Death of the Church by Carl Trueman… A friend…
When Judas departs he misses out on eternal life with Christ and instead gets an all paid trip to hell with the evil one… But he misses out on something just after he departs that I would have loved to have been a part of, Jesus talking about His glory. I was reading in the gospel of John yesterday chapter 13 where Satan and Judas have their own thing going on John 13:27-30. Satan has…
Pastor Jim McClarty talks about the necessity of letting the words of the Bible speak for themselves — especially when God interprets His own actions. Here he talks about Ezekiel 37:1-10 and the valley of dry bones and lets God interpret it for Himself starting in Ezekiel 37:11 where the vision is explained. The Vision Explained 11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say,…
