Greatly Rejoice in Christ JESUS, friends...

  Blest be the Father and His love To whose celestial source we owe   Rivers of endless joy above   And rills of comfort here below.      Glory to Thee great Son of God   From whose dear wounded body rolls   A precious stream of vital blood   Pardon and life for dying souls.       We give Thee, sacred Spirit, praise   Who in our hearts of sin and woe   Make living springs of grace arise   And into boundless glory flow.     Thus God the Father, God the Son   And God the Spirit we adore   That sea of life and love unknown   Without a bottom or a shore.      (old Gospel Hymn: “Doxology” )

But what happens when this tolerance becomes a blindfold, obscuring the stark reality of evil lurking in our midst? Like a ravenous wolf, evil doesn't care for our carefully crafted social constructs. It doesn't respect boundaries, it doesn't play fair, and it ce...

TO BE FOUND IN CHRIST...

"... and be found in Him ." -Philippians 3:9 [KJV] What! the heavenly-inspired, holy, self-denied Paul, who had the richest experience of grace, manifold gifts of the Spirit, been caught up to the third heaven, and laboured more abundantly than all the apostles,—has he advanced no farther yet, than to have no other hope and desire than such a worthless sinner as I?  What! had not he arrived at perfection? Had he no inherent righteousness, no graces of the Spirit, no holiness, no fruits of good works, no sincere obedience, no terms and conditions he had performed to look to, rely upon, and desire to be found in at the bar of God?  No: but he had obtained precious faith in a precious Saviour. Therefore, he looks out of himself, out of all that was wrought in and done by him— he passes it all by—he looks through it all to Jesus — he renounces it all in point of justification before God, and puts the issue of his eternal life and salvation upon being found in Chris...
