JESUS Sends His people Help from The Sanctuary

"The just shall live by faith." -Romans 1:17 [KJV]   A life of faith in Christ is as necessary to our present and experimental salvation as His death upon the cross was to our past and actual salvation. If you are alive to what you are as a poor fallen sinner, you see yourself surrounded by enemies, temptations, sins, and snares; and you feel yourself utterly defenceless, as weak as water, without any strength to stand against them. Pressed down by the weight of unbelief, you see a mountain of difficulty before your eyes, sometimes in providence and sometimes in grace. You find, too, that your heart is a cage of unclean birds, and that in you, that is, in your flesh, there dwelleth no good thing; neither will nor power have you in yourself to fight or flee. How then shall this mountain become a plain? How shall you escape the snares and temptations spread in your path? How shall you get the better of all your enemies, external, internal, infernal, and reach hea...

Psalm 118, verses 8-9 [KJV]

       "The motto upon the escutcheon of the Earl of Lonsdale, is Magistratus indicat virum : ' the magistracy shows the man .'  Office-holding is a test of character.  He who can resist the temptations to injustice, fraud, deceit, and self-aggrandizement generally, which beset one who either inherits office or obtains it by the popular suffrage, is unquestionably a person of deep convictions of truth, and of high moral principle.  For this reason, public life would not be sought by one who distrusts himself.   He who puts up the petition, “Lead me not into temptation,” would be thankful for the providence that should forever keep him in the quiet and independent walks of private life.  Should the will of God oblige him to assume the responsibility  of a judge, a magistrate, or a legislator, he would enter upon them, not because he preferred them, but because duty must be discharged toward God. It was in this spirit ...

REDEEMED BY THE POWER OF GOD! Rejoice

      "Those for whom the Savior shed His blood and so redeemed them by price, are by-and-by redeemed by power .  The Spirit of God finds them, like other men, fond of sin; like other men, blind to the beauties of the Savior, deaf to the commands of Christ; but if Christ has bought them with His blood, He never paid for what He will not have.   The price was too precious to be paid for those who are not saved.  If Christ has paid for a soul with His blood, He will have that soul.  Neither will God’s honor rob Him of His purchase, nor will Christ be content to lose what He so dearly bought."                                                                                     - preacher C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892 A.D.)

Regarding God's Gospel, It is Impossible...

          "It is impossible to preach:   1.  That man is both  totally and partially depraved.   2.  That election is both  conditional and unconditional.   3.  That regenerating grace is both  irresistible and resistible.   4.  That redemption is both  limited and unlimited.   5.  That perseverance is both  certain and uncertain.        Nor can there be a modification of one by the other; it is impossible to blend the two .  History records such efforts in the past; but despite the efforts, sovereign grace and 'free-willism' will not mix, nor can they walk together in peace, nor can those holding either system force the other to take their view ."                                  ...

Saints of Almighty GOD Lack for Nothing

THE LAMB SAVES FROM SIN The Lord of glory, Son of God, Whom cherubim obey; The bosom of the Father left, To dwell in human clay. Yes Jesus came into the world, The Messenger of grace; The Lamb was slain upon the cross, To save His chosen race.   Christ Jesus died for helpless men! Who can such grace explore? O let us trust upon the Lord, And on Him praises pour! Since Jesus was our Substitute, We ever are secure; For by His sin-atoning blood, He made salvation sure.   We trust no other but the Lamb, Who was for sinners slain; His blood has washed us from our sin, And cleansed us from all stain. Sing praises to the Lamb of God, Who came to save the lost, O magnify His precious Name, He paid our ransom cost .     TUNE: “There is a Fountain”   CM/double Words by Jim Byrd -------O-------          “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the be...

The Evidence of GOD's Word

            From the evidence of the Bible, we know that all men are sinful.   “There is not a just man upon earth that doeth good, and sinneth not.”  And it is written,  “The heart of the sons of men is full of evil”   (Ecclesiastes 7:20; 9:3).   From the evidence of man’s sinful actions we know the same thing.  Bloodshed, violence, theft, lying, deceitfulness, lust, malice, pride and anger abound.    Since the fall, man has always been and always shall be wicked.  What do these things prove?  They prove that no man could be saved if left to himself and that if any are to be made righteous and therefore fit to stand eternally before the holy Lord of glory, God Himself will have to do the work .   “Salvation is of the LORD.”   - Jonah 2:9 [KJV]  -preacher Jim Byrd of Thirteenth Street Baptist Church  -Christ-honoring audio Gospel sermons here, friends:   https:/...

Commit All To God's Care & Wise Providence

"If God be your Father, you can want nothing that is good: but the determination of what is good must be left to His wisdom; for we are not so fit to judge of it nor to discern our own good.  We should therefore commit all to His Fatherly care and wise providence.  Indeed, He chooseth rather to profit us than to please us, in His dispensations; and it is our duty to refer all to His wisdom and faithfulness."   -preacher Thomas Manton
