Good Morning friends,The words of an old hymn came to mind:
"All praise to our Redeeming Lord
Who joins us by His Grace..." UPS - thanks for taking us to a good conclusion (hopefully!
) ...'concentrate on being a doer of the Word..'
The exchanges we trust will all work together for profit and edification.
" He bids us build each other up,
And gathered into one.
To our high calling's glorious hope,
We hand in hand go on. Even now we speak and think the same
And cordially agree.
Concentered all through Jesus' Name,
In perfect harmony The gift which He on one bestows,
We all delight to prove.
The Grace through every vessel flows,
In purest streams of love." We can help by prayer for one another in these days of rapidly escalating evil, for we know not how long our opportunity will last.
Dr Tim, may your loved one even be able to cry out to the Lord Jesus for salvation.
Likewise for all the other needs expressed here.
Let's bear one another up, and cheer one another up, while it is called today! "And if our fellowship below,
In Jesus be so sweet..
What height of rapture shall we know,
When round His Throne we meet?" |

Ah yes John!
That's the quote I had in mind.Indeed, we don't want to be derailed or disclaimed at the last... but rather choose to 'do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God'. Good day to you too, and all the brethren in Christ here. |

NeedHim wrote:
Absolute humbling when one reflects on, the only thing I am truly deserving of in this day alone. Is to be under the Righteous justice of Gods, justified anger against me. As I fall short of His Absolute mark of utter perfection & utter Holiness amen.How true NeedHim.
And the only thing we will need on that Final Day, is to be justified by the righteousness of Christ, Who alone never fell short of utter perfection and utter holiness, securing our pardon and peace with God. Oh let us dwell upon the theme ever, day by day , lifting our ransomed souls in wonder love and praise to Him who is worthy. What a Gospel we have to share! |

Thanks Christopher.. I only drop by the Forum occasionally, when I have spare spare-time. I like to use the Sermons for learning from a variety of folks - there is so much to learn!!
And the listening suits the housework better!Regarding God's mysteries: yes, surely He has made it clear regarding salvation - what is required of us and what we are to go into all the world to preach. I believe we should keep busy with the plain things - we have plenty to go on with.
And yes, like you say, I wholeheartedly agree that we must take the Scripture 'at face-value' as it were. William Tyndale wanted..and died that the ploughboy might have access to God's Word, but what have men done with his (and others) blood?
This is important to me - who could be labelled a 'lay-person', without letters or great learning, for I spent years trying to understand and square with the man-made
Confessions etc.... It is such blessed soul-relief to bow to God alone, and have his Spirit to oversee my spiritual education, personally from His Word, and from the lives and mouths of many of His children. Thank you. It's good to find folks who want to follow in Christ's steps. |

Dear brothers and sisters,
Remember too, that the Gospel comes not only in word, but in power, and by the Holy Ghost. A good principle, I think, is to stick to Scripture quotes as much as possible, bowing in heart to the Sovereignty of God.
He never wants us to 'cook up' something from what we choose to be the best ingredients. There are secrets that are known to Him alone, so we should not expect to have a perfect interpretation of His doctrines - they drop as the dew, but we are often too busy shouting to hear!
One thing I have learned in times of enforced quietude, that our Father graciously grants in His chastening love, is that when my 'knowledge ' is tempting me beyond charitable peaceableness, and other good fruits of the Spirit; it's time to 'halt and pray'...... |
