LISTENING WITH A DISCERNING EAR
Listening well is a tough skill to master. I’d venture to say that most people are mediocre listeners. Are you a good or bad listener?
LIFT UP YOUR VOICE!
Have you ever wondered why Christians sing so much, gather together weekly with people of different ages and backgrounds and sing songs?
Who’s Going Thirsty?
“Let the one who desires take the water of lift without price.” (Revelation 22:17)
Grace Transforms
Paul says that this grace teaches us “to renounce ungodliness… and to live
self-controlled, upright, and godly lives” (Titus 2:12).
A Man with Three Friends
Remember that ultimately we stand alone before God. Neither your wife nor husband nor any other friend can stand in for you in your relationship with God. You are responsible to him for “the things done in [your] body” (2 Corinthians 5:10).
Election
You did not choose me but I chose you. John 15:16
Various quotes from Matthew Henry’s Commentary (1710)
All the philosophy and politics in the world will not restore the corrupt nature of
man to its primitive rectitude – we find the insufficiency of them both in others and
in ourselves.
Joy of believers
But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name’ (John I :12)
Today Your gate is open
Today Your mercy calls us
To wash away our sin,
However great our trespass,
Whatever we have been;
However long from mercy
We may have turned away,
Your blood, oh Christ, can cleanse us,
And make us pure today.
That Nothing Will Ever Separate Us From Him
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
