Turn My Heart From Vanity to an Eternal Interest in Christ!
Thou great I Am, Fill my mind with elevation and grandeur at the thought of a Being... with whom one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day, A mighty God, who, amidst the lapse of worlds, and the revolutions of empires, feels no variableness, but is glorious in immortality. May I rejoice that, while men die, the Lord lives; that, while all creatures are broken reeds... empty cisterns, fading flowers, withering grass, he is the Rock of Ages, the Fountain of living waters. Turn ...

The Creator Banished from His Own Creation
Though there are a myriad things to lament concerning the Christian world today, one of the things that I have yet to encounter is a Christian that would flat out deny that God is in control, that God is sovereign. Because, it is axiomatic to conclude that if God is not Sovereign, He is not God. To assert, even in the most fundamental level that God is not sovereign is to negate the very God-hood ...

I Asked The Lord That I Might Grow… But Why This?
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.”—Psalm 34:19 This hymn has been close to my heart lately, for it reflects much of life, mine as much as yours, I believe, reader. We pray for greater faith and growth in character and grace, but at the next moment we wonder why it seems that the opposite is granted to us? We are driven to trials, buffeting of temptations ...

Saving Faith is Humble, Tender, Loving, Working, Obedient & Eduring
In a world filled with comforts and the absence of constant opposition, even those who profess to be Christians can be lax in regards to the nature of their confession of faith. Save for a precious few, most would care little about it. Why would they? The culture has served them well. They grew up faithfully in a Christian society. It's all they really ever knew and all they ever came to know. Why should ...

Futile is the Faith That Mortifies Not Sin and the Flesh
If the mark of Christian religion is not that which befriends the world to such a degree that it looks, talks, walks like the world and loves the things the world loves but rather one that esteems Christ, holiness and His gospel as more precious than all earthly and worldly comforts, then I would lament that Christians would be far terribly few in number despite what is popularly known. For what is a Christianity, a profession ...

What Have I Done to Deserve to Suffering?
One of the marks of the Christian life is suffering, but is it not true that the problem of suffering is as much considered outside of the Christian world as it is amongst Christians? Prior to conversion I am sure the question "What have I done to deserve this?" has rolled out of your lips at least once in your time. We set ourselves in labor to demand fairness and justice from our fellow man, ...

Jesus Paid it All
I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.” Refrain Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim, I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Refrain And now complete in Him My robe His righteousness, Close sheltered ’neath His side, I am divinely blest. Refrain Lord, now indeed I find Thy power and Thine ...
