John MacArthur, Empty Hearts, Empty Words
Christianity today has become so superficial. Where is the deep plowing? Where is the spade work? Where is the real repentance? Where is the deep dug foundation? Where is the brokenness of heart? Where is the mourning over sin? Where is the laying down of those heavy stones of a foundation?
Charles Spurgeon put it this way, “Want of depth, want of sincerity, this is the want of our times.

These are the causes of tottering professions and baseless hopes.”
 Give Me Christ, Or Else I Die“He gave his only begotten Son.”—John 3. 16 Gracious Lord, incline thy ear; My requests vouchsafe to hear; Hear my never-ceasing cry; Give me Christ, or else I die.

In the span of 10 days, Christ’s Glory Church, in partnership with Hope Christian Church, 21,000 Gospel tracts has been spread abroad in Metro Manila, Philippines. What can 21,000 Gospel tracts do? In the hands of men and in the power of men, nothing. Absolutely nothing. A useless endeavor. Pointless. Pathetic. Irrational. Illogical. A waste of money, energy and time. But in the ...

 May My Cry Be Always, Only Jesus! Only Jesus!O God, I bless thee for the happy moment when I first saw thy law fulfilled in Christ, wrath appeased, death destroyed, sin forgiven, my soul saved. Ever since, thou hast been faithful to me: daily have I proved the power of Jesus’ blood, daily have I known the strength of the Spirit, my teacher, director, sanctifier. I want no other rock to build upon than that I have, desire no other hope than that of gospel truth, need no other look than that which gazes ... January 26, 2011

Superficial. I like the choice of word bro. congratulations. what is faith without works as james wrote. it's easy to say: I believe, I love god, i know the bible, i adhere to and etc., but if we don't practice what we preach (cf. Matt. 23:1-2 & James 2:10-12) we won't make quite a difference from the "good ol' n educated" p'rushim 4 even the devils believe …
congrats n best wishes!
