How often we jeopardise the hope and joy of our salvation, by looking for the work of God done IN us, or BY us, rather than looking to the work of Christ done FOR us. Greg Elmquist _ My spiritual life began in looking to Christ only. The way I persevere in the faith […]
Luxuriating forever! (from Winslow’s, “The Glory of Christ in Heaven”) Beloved, the Lord Jesus intends that His people shall be near unto Him in heaven. His satisfaction of soul will not be complete until He clusters around Him in glory all for whom His soul travailed in suffering on earth. Nothing shall separate Him from […]
Because of Who God is, and His precious Gospel, we can pray for those we love, knowing that He is able to bind up the brokenhearted, open the eyes of the blind, and that He delighteth to show mercy. We pray for those who are sad, to Him Who keeps the tears of His loved […]
The most delightful doctrine! by Spurgeon I am sure there is no more delightful doctrine to a Christian, than that of CHRIST’S ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY! I am glad there is no such thing as ‘chance’, that nothing is left to itself, but that Christ everywhere has sway. If I thought that there was a devil in hell […]
“Where Is He?” John 7:11 Everyone knew that the Lord Jesus would be at Jerusalem during the feast of tabernacles. The whole city seems to have been buzzing with this question.

My hope lives, not because I am not a sinner, but because I am a sinner for whom Christ died; my trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, He is my righteousness. My faith rests not upon what I am, or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what […]
God must save us before we will desire to be saved. God must give light before we know we were in darkness, God must give life before we will know that we were dead. God must do everything in our salvation. ~John Chapman (Spring Lake Nth Carolina) “And there shall be no […]
Here we see what is in every human heart by nature! (Don Fortner) Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. Matthew 27:22 Oh, what a revelation of man the cross is! Man hating God, and hating Him most when God […]
People of God.
