Save LORD, and We Shall Be Saved

 

Revive Thy work, O LORD

Create soul-thirst for Thee

And hungering for the Word of life

O may our spirits be!


Revive Thy work, O LORD

Exalt Thy precious Name

And by the Holy Ghost our love

For Thee and Thine inflame.


Revive Thy work, O LORD

Give pow’r unto Thy Word

And may its pure and sacred Truth

In living faith be heard.


Revive Thy work O LORD

And give refreshing showers

The glory shall all be Thine own

The blessing, LORD be ours.

“And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  And he that was dead came forth.” - John 11:43-44 [KJV]

 

When the Lord Jesus stood before the tomb of His beloved friend Lazarus, (who had been dead four days) did He cry, “Lazarus, I have made life possible for you, will you choose to accept it?”  How absurd!  Lazarus was dead; he could make no choice or decision, nor could he exert his own will.  So, when did Lazarus receive life?  Was it when he came forth, and because he came forth or was life given to him before he came forth?  The answer should be obvious!

"A man is never so fit for believing as when he is most unfit.  It is unfitness, not fitness, that is really required.  What is fitness for being washed?  Filth!  What is fitness for receiving pardon?  Guilt!  If you are filthy, if you are guilty, you have all the fitness that is required.  So, come and find in Jesus Christ all that meets  your greatest need."

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 ...

Light Rising in the Darkness: Take Heart, friends...

"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness." -Psalm 112:4 [KJV] We often get into such dark paths, that we seem altogether out of the secret, and feel as if there were no more grace in our souls, than in one altogether dead in trespasses and sins. And whether we look back at the past, or view the present, or turn our eyes to the future, one dark cloud seems to rest upon the whole; nor can we, with all our searching, find to our satisfaction that we have one spark of true religion, or one atom of grace, or one grain of vital godliness, or any trace that the Spirit of God has touched our consciences with His finger. Now, when we are in this dark, benighted state, we want light; we want the blessed Sun of righteousness to arise; we want the south wind to blow a heavenly gale, and drive the mists away; we want the clouds to part, and the light of God's countenance to shine into our souls, so as to shew us where we are, and what we are, and make it cle...

THE GREAT TRUMPET BLAST ~ The Joyful Sound!

"The great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come, who were ready to perish." -Isaiah 27:13 [KJV] One trumpet has been blown, at the giving of the law, on mount Sinai: the voice of it sounded long, and waxed louder and louder. It made even Moses to fear and quake exceedingly, and all the people tremble. Soon, very soon, (who knows but it may be the next moment, in the twinkling of an eye?) the last trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised (I Corinthians 15:52.)   Tremendous voice! most solemn sound! The prophet asks, “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?” (Amos. 3:6.) If the alarm of war, and the approach of an enemy should be sounded in the dead of the night, what fear and terror would seize us! Must we hear the sound of the last trumpet, calling us to judgment?  Blessed, eternally blessed be our God, for the blowing of this great trumpet: it is the sound of great love: it proclaims salvation—to whom? Even to great s...
