Do You Believe God?

 

How rich the depths of love Divine

Of bliss a boundless store

Dear Saviour let me call Thee mine

I could not wish for more – I could not wish for more!


On Thee alone my hope relies

Beneath Thy cross I fall

My Lord, my life, my sacrifice

My Saviour and my All – My Saviour and my All!


How great Thy wisdom, power and grace

That in redemption shines

The heavenly hosts with joy confess

The work is all Divine – The work is all Divine!


Before His face they cast their crowns

Those crowns which Jesus gave

And with ten thousand, thousand tongues

Proclaim His power to save – Proclaim His power to save!

I BELIEVE GOD, DO YOU?

 


“For I believe God, that it shall be 

even as it was told me.” -Acts 27:25 [KJV]

 

Do you believe God?  I am not asking if you believe in God.  I am not asking if you believe there is a God.  My question is, “Do you believe God?”  Do you believe what God says in the Bible about Himself, about His Son, about you, about everything?  Do you believe God?

 

In Acts chapter 27, we find Paul on a ship when a horrific storm arose.  The ship was about to be lost.  The men on that ship wanted to jump off.  They felt they stood a better chance surviving in the sea than on the ship. Paul said to those men, “Sirs, be of good cheer, there stood by me this night, the angel of the Lord, whose I am and whom I serve. He said to me, Paul, not one person will be lost.” Paul’s argument for staying aboard the ship was not, “Sirs, I believe there is a God,” or “Sirs, I believe in God.”  Paul said, “Sirs, I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.”  Do you see the difference?  This is true faith’s confession!  “I believe God!”  Do you believe God?

The Putrid Cup of Tolerance: When Evil Poses as Progress

"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked." -Psalm 97:10 [KJV] "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." Thomas Mann's chilling words pierce through the fog of modern moral relativism like a shard of ice. It's a warning that echoes through the blood-soaked pages of history, a truth we ignore at our peril. The Seduction of False Neutrality We live in an age where tolerance is held up as the supreme virtue, the golden idol before which we must all bow. We're told to accept everything, question nothing, and embrace a faux-unity that sacrifices truth on the altar of political correctness. 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...

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 19 October, 2025 A.D.

"Behold, he prayeth!"   -Acts 9:11 [KJV] In many trades, it is customary to shew samples or patterns. By these men judge of the goodness or quality of the whole. St. Paul sets himself forth as a sample, or pattern, of the free, distinguishing, sovereign, unmerited grace of God, that we should judge of its nature by its efficacy upon him. “I obtained mercy, for this cause, that in me first   (-a first rate sinner) Jesus Christ may shew forth His all long suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting”   (I Timothy 1:16.) Thou hast seen this pattern of free grace. What dost thou think of it?  The whole is alike with the pattern. It cometh alike upon elect sinners. It finds no more prerequisites, fitness, qualifications, or conditions in any, than it did in St. Paul. Whenever it takes place upon any, it produceth the same effects as it did in him. Grace and mercy from Jesus, makes Saul pray to Jesus. There is the ...

LORD JESUS, Be Merciful...

" LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." -Psalm 41:4 [KJV] Is this the language of the man after God’s own heart? Was David a saint when he uttered it? Yes, he was a holy man of God. This confession and prayer shew it. His heart was not hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, nor blinded by self-righteous pride, so as to say, “I have no sin.”   Self-righteous hearts cannot away with this, that all the Lord’s saints are yet in themselves miserable sinners; that they daily see need to confess this; and to sue for mercy and healing from the Lord. Here is a confession, a plea, and a prayer.  (1st.) A confession, “I have sinned against Thee.” Thus we must come and confess to the Lord to-day, to-morrow, and every day, till the sun of life sets. Sense of sin, whether fresh contracted, or long since committed, abides with us. It wounds and pains a gracious soul. Here grace discovers itself. That soul waits not for time to efface the m...
