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

If you had a friend who was planning to go before the King in his own dirty, ragged, offensive robe, and you knew that he would be forever rejected, would you not warn him? Suppose, too, that you knew where he could secure, absolutely free, a beautiful, spotless robe with which the King not only would be pleased but one which the King H imself had provided. Would you not tell him about it? This is called " G ood N ews." And which robe would you talk the most about ­ the offensive garment or the beautiful one? I would think that the more he heard about the King's robe and the more he was made aware of its glories, beauties, and perfections, the more he would become aware of the insufficiency and corruption of his own. That which makes Christ Jesus more precious to me and His robe of righteousness more needful is NOT THE PREACHING OF WHAT I AM NOT, BUT THE PREACHING OF WHO AND WHAT HE IS! -Gospel report by preacher Henry Mahan (1926–2019 A.D.)

Did faith ever contemplate, did hope ever anchor in, did love ever flow forth to the glorious Person of Immanuel? Was He ever precious to your souls? ever "altogether lovely" in your eyes? so that you could say, "Whom have I in heaven but T hee? and there is none upon earth I desire beside T hee?" Now, if you have seen His Per...

Thus saith the L ORD ; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thy espousals, when thou wentest after M e in the wilderness.­I will remember M y covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.­I will visit you, and perform M y good word toward you.­for I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the L ORD , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are M y ways higher than your ways, and M y thoughts than your thoughts.­I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause: W ho doeth great things and unsearchable, wonderful things without number.­Many, O Lord my God, are T hy wonderful works which T hou hast done, and T hy thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order to T hee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. - NEHEMIAH 5:19 ; J EREMIAH 2:2 ; E ZEKIEL 16:60 ; J E...
