“Faith, obviously, is not a mere matter of feeling. It cannot be, because one’s feelings in this kind of condition can be very changeable. A Christian is not meant to be dejected when everything goes wrong. He is told to “rejoice”. Feelings belong to happiness alone, rejoicing takes in something much bigger than feelings; and if faith were a matter of feelings only, then when things go wrong and feelings change, faith will go.…
“A man is not saved against his will, but he is made willing by the operation of the Holy Ghost. A mighty grace which he does not wish to resist enters into the man, disarms him, makes a new creature of him, and he is saved.”~ C.H. Spurgeon and that’s a beautiful thing! Soli Deo Gloria Lenny
The man who has faith is the man who is no longer looking at himself, and no longer looking to himself. He no longer looks at anything he once was. He does not look at what he is now. He does not look at what he hopes to be as the result of his own efforts. He looks entirely to the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work, and he rests on that alone.…
For we walk by faith, not by sight- 2 Corinthians 5:7 He who walks by faith can walk in the sunlight as well as you can, for he walks with God—he has enlightened eyes, but he can walk in the dark as you cannot, for his light is still shining upon him. He trusts in the unseen and in the invisible—and his soul rejoices when present things are passing away. We will not tarry longer…
This one was from my heart, 24 years ago this April I prayed a prayer originally posted March 31, 2008 I trusted that the prayer I prayed was going to save me. Never repenting, never trusting Christ, just the prayer that I repeated from a Pastor. Now I know it’s all of Christ and His doing…. By grace you have been save, through faith and that’s a beautiful thing! Now I can say without a doubt…
We were talking in Sunday school about the faith of Abraham, how he didn’t waver in his unbelief, but grew stronger in his faith Romans 4:20. We have all heard and read the definition of faith, faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen Hebrews 11:1… That’s Abraham! I love in Romans 4:19 where it says he was contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was…
I started to read some of Spurgeon’s sermons lately and have found them to be a wonderful blessing and truly edifying, I was reading Faith Illustrated and read this, as Spurgeon calls it a remarkable picture of Salvation by faith in Jesus…. I saw the other day a remarkable picture, which I shall use as an illustration of the way of salvation by faith in Jesus. An offender had committed a crime for which he…
“The writer has met many people who profess to be Christians, but whose daily lives differ in nothing from thousands of non-professors all around them. They are rarely, if ever, found at the prayer-meeting, they have no Family Worship, they seldom read the Scriptures, they will not talk with you about the things of God, their walk is thoroughly worldly; and yet they are quite sure they are bound for heaven! Inquire into the…
My plans were to post throughout the conference but just didn’t happen to work out that way… But I have many notes and thoughts I will share throughout the coming weeks. One amazing thought that I did come away from the conference was the people who were there, how dedicated they are to Christ and the word of God and how passionate they are for His glory and their faith. One particular time we…
Yesterday was jammed packed with the word of God, from Dr. MacArthur, Kevin DeYoung to J.D. Greear. I have a lot of edifying words from the word of God that I want to pass on, but found that I really don’t have the time, as they have us from one speaker to another. I will as soon as I can… As you can see by the picture I was able to give Dr. MacArthur…
