THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST

“ He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness.” -I SAIAH 61:10 [KJV] We do not think it strange, or preposterous, to wear clothes, the materials of which we borrow from other creatures. And why should it be deemed absurd, that we should hide our spiritual shame, by appearing before God in the garment of another, EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST. -Gospel report by preacher Augustus Toplady [1740–1778 A.D.]

Declare The Glories of God

Declare the praises of our God, Let none refuse to sing; Affirm the greatness of the Lord, Give glory to the King! Tune: “ O God, Our Help in Ages Past, ” p. 10 (CM) Words by preacher Jim Byrd

"He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord" [I CORINTHIANS 1:31] . The glory of the Church is to glory in her covenant Head—to glory in Christ and in Christ alone; to glory in His strength, love, blood, grace, and righteousness; and to glory i...
