"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

Sovereign God of grace and glory; We confess and spread Your fame. All your fullness in Christ dwelling, Yesterday, today, the same. Never changing, never failing, Never taken by surprise; Never needing, never trying, Always wondrous in our eyes. Blessed Jesus whose redemption Is the work that justifies All of grace and thus eternal, Shout His glories to the skies! He is all our peace and comfort: Christ the Lord our Righteousness. In Him such a sweet assurance, One with Him we’re surely blessed. Join us now to sing His praises. All the glory to Him be. Now exalt our blessed Savior. Now and for eternity! ( Tune: 8.7 8.7 ) -Words b y Gary Shepard

Until then, they are bound captives of the devil and I am unable to free them. But there is One who c

"For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: how much more shall the blood of Christ, W ho through the eternal Spirit offered H imself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God ." - HEBREWS 9:13-14 [KJV] What a mercy it is to have a conscience in any measure purged from dead works to serve the living God; to feel any free access to His gracious Majesty, any happy liberty in walking before Him, any deliverance from doubt and fear, any removal of those exercises which try the mind and often bring heavy burdens upon the soul! Still, after all our wanderings, we must ever come to the same spot; after all our departings and backslidings, still again and again we must be brought to the same place to get the guilt removed, the mercy proclaimed and the peace revealed. For is not this the blessedness that the blood of Christ cleanseth from
