“From Whence This Fear and Unbelief?”
From whence this fear and unbelief? Hath not the Father put to grief His spotless Son for me? And will the righteous Judge of men Condemn me for that load of sin Which, Lord, was charged to Thee? Complete atonement Thou hast made, And to the utmost Thou hast paid Whate’er Thy people owed; Nor can God’s wrath on me take place When sheltered by Thy righteousness, And covered by Thy blood. If Thou my pardon procured, And freely in my room endured The whole of wrath divine; Payment God ...

What is the Message of Evangelism
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the ...

Destroy, O God, the Dark Guest Within!
O Lord, Bend my hands and cut them off, for I have often struck thee with a wayward will, when these fingers should embrace thee by faith. I am not yet weaned from all created glory, honour, wisdom, and esteem of others, for I have a secret motive to eye my name in all I do. Let me not only speak the word sin, but see the thing itself. Give me to view a discovered sinfulness, to know that though ...

Paradoxes: I am to be Holy, yet I am Not.
A prayer from the Valley of Vision: O changeless God, Under the conviction of thy Spirit I learn that the more I do, the worse I am, the more I know, the less I know, the more holiness I have, the more sinful I am, the more I love, the more there is to love. O wretched man that I am! O Lord, I have a wild heart, and cannot stand before thee; I am like a bird before a man. How little I love thy ...

The Love of Christ Constraining Us
The Love of Christ Constraining Us For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. —2 Corinthians 5:14-15 Have you concluded the same? Does the same love of Christ control you? Do you hear that? Those whom Christ died for, ...

Why People Should Evangelize
Why People Should Evangelize Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:11a, "Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others." What does that mean? What does it mean when the Bible speaks about the "fear" of the Lord? It simply means having a real and proper apprehension of who God is, a real and proper apprehension of the character of God, the holiness of God, the God-hood of God. The reason why we are strangers to the ...

Why People Don’t Evangelize
Why People Don't Evangelize When you woke up on your beds this morning, how many of you were worried about the millions throughout the world who opened their eyes at the same moment as they lay their heads on rocks and the cold dust of the earth?

Lamb of God, We Fall Before Thee
Lamb of God, we fall before Thee, Humbly trusting in Thy cross. That alone be all our glory; All things else are only dross. Thee we own a perfect Savior, Only source of all that’s good. Every grace and every favor Comes to us through Jesus’ blood. Jesus gives us true repentance By His Spirit sent from Heav’n; Whispers this transporting sentence, “Son, thy sins are all forgiv’n.” Faith He grants us to believe it, Grateful hearts His love to prize; Want we wisdom? He must give it, Hearing ears ...
