The Life of Faith and Love...

  “His commandments are not grievous.”   It is more profitable and enjoyable to love than to hate, to forgive than to hold a grudge, to smile than to quarrel, to behave kindly than to act ugly. The way of the transgressor is hard, not the way of the believer.  The life of faith and love is the good life.                                                                -preacher Henry Mahan

SOVEREIGN GRACE

Sovereign Grace is God’s grace. And God’s grace is Sovereign Grace. If it is not Sovereign Grace, it is not saving grace.  Sovereign Grace is the Truth.   Sovereign Grace is the message that declares the electing love of the Father, the redeeming love of the Son, and the invincible love of the Holy Spirit.  Sovereign grace is the content of all true evangelism.  Sovereign Grace is the Gospel!  Any message that does not declare the sovereign Grace of God in Christ Jesus is “another gospel” !  Sovereign grace is saving grace !

We Gather for Worship

  Eternal, faithful, loving Lord, We bow before Thy throne;   Come as we gather in Thy Name,   And make Thy glories known.     O send Thy Spirit from above,   To touch these lips of ours;   That we would praise and honor Thee,   With all our earthly pow’rs.     When to our ears the gospel comes,   Lord send it deep within;   Come fill each heart with love and grace,   And cleanse us from our sin.     May all who gather in this house,   By faith to Jesus flee;   No other One can save our souls,   Or give us peace with Thee.       O give us grace to bless Thy name   As one, to raise our voice;   To honor and adore our God,   To worship and rejoice.       Tune: “Amazing Grace”  CM  Words by Jim Byrd

Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 24 May, 2024 A.D.

" From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him." -John 6:66 [KJV] Thus was fulfilled that word, “How can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3.) This chapter is like a touch-stone. Herein our Lord tries His disciples, to see who are real sterling, and who not. Many are His professed, but few His real disciples. Sifting times will come. They make manifest. The hottest place in hell is prepared for those who turn their backs upon the Son of God on earth.  Lord, grant that our faces may be set like a flint towards Thee. For, blessed be Thy name, Thou hast said of those who continue with Thee in Thy temptations: “I appoint unto you a kingdom: ye shall eat and drink at My table” (Luke 22:29, 30.) But those who are not agreed with Christ, have not the mind of Christ: will not walk long with Him. See this exemplified.  (1st.) “Some of these disciples followed Christ for the loaves and fishes,” verse 26 . Those who follo...
