 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. Wealth and honour I disdain, Earthly comforts, Lord, are vain; These can never satisfy; Give me Christ, or else I die. Lord, deny me what thou wilt, Only ease me of my guilt. Suppliant at thy feet I lie; Give me Christ, or else I die. All unholy and unclean, I am nothing else but sin; On thy mercy I rely; Give ... February 28, 2011

 What Can 21,000 Gospel Tracts Do?I haven't posted anything on the blog for the past two weeks. Here is the reason why. 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

And as it was of God in the planning, and of God in the purchasing, so it is all of God in the applying and bringing of it home to each individual conscience. The cross of Christ is not put up there merely for every man to look at, and then left to chance as to whether men will look or no. There stands the cross free to every soul that lives, but, nevertheless, God has determined that it shall not be neglected. There is a number that no man can number, who shall by all-constraining grace be brought to clasp that cross as the hope of their souls.
Wow! love the analogy of the horse and the rider hmmm.. I'm gonna use it.."The cross of Christ is not put up there merely for every man to look at, and then left to chance as to whether men will look or no. There stands the cross free to every soul that lives, but, nevertheless, God has determined that it shall not be neglected."This is why it is impossible to believe that man is totally free. If man really is free and can only be "encouraged" but not "driven", then the arminian must consider that there is a high possiblity (if not total) of the negligence of the Cross and Christ would have died in vain; His suffering would be futile and what's worse is, no one would even have understood His work! God freely exercises His sovereign grace to maintain the "checks and balances" in His creations (not even a sparrow falls without God knowing or purposing! and we are worth much more than sparrows!). However, it does not mean that He has turn man into a puppet, rather He has "riden" man. If He desires to let go, man would fall. If He desires to pull, man would be restrained and corrected.Oh! How wonderful that His grace keeps us safe!
I just love it! Oh, the joy to hear such things! Hearing and reading the great worth of the Cross and it's power!Rightly so bes! God does not simply "PROpose" men to be saved, He "PURPOSES" them to be saved! I find it really aggravating to think how men have such a low, blasphemous view of our God. How pitiful is the god of this age! A god with neither will nor power! A god who can only ask, but never command! A god who can only plead, but never obligate! A god who can only beg, but never demand! A god who can only wish and never do anything! Isn't this similar to the god that the greeks worship? The gods of mythology created by the imaginations of men! But no, it must not be this way, as Elijah proclaimed, "If Baal is god then worship him! But if Jehovah YHWH is God then worship Him!" Don't be worshiping an idol, worship the God of Scripture! It is either that or the other.Rawr! (I could've written a blogpost.haha)
Another reason why people find it hard to believe to sovereign grace of God is that they think that God is violating their "rights" if He practices such sovereign actions.. but the truth is, on the first place, we had no right! No right at all! For if we had, we could have saved ourselves on we could, on our own, have the potential to choose God all the time.Anyways, true bes! What kind of God would we have if He just leaves everything to chance? What kind of God would we have if He man makes the final decision and not Him?anyways, we can write reflections about this. Starting may bes, it'll be our break, so i'll be making reflections on every post to reinforce the truth for our readers. Do you want my relfections here? Anyways, just decide when you see them.. I'll send you my gmail account and password in case you want to have access to my site or you want to "tweek" something..God bless bes!
