What God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time.
preaching-the-gospel helping preaching
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time...

Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always.

We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God.
spirit study given
The Spirit is not given to make Bible study needless, but to make it effective.

The Trinity is the basis of the gospel, and the gospel is a declaration of the Trinity in action.

Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
jesus father years
The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity--hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory--because at the Father's will Jesus became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross.
kings angel destiny
The God of Israel is King of kings and Lord of lords... He know, and foreknows, all things, and his foreknowledge is foreordination; he, therefore, will have the last word, both in world history and in the destiny of every man; his kingdom and righteousness will triumph in the end, for neither men nor angels shall be able to thwart him.
commitment biblical simple
Simple assent to the gospel, divorced from a transforming commitment to the living Christ, is by Biblical standards less than faith, and less than saving, and to elicit only assent of this kind would be to secure only false conversions.

Scripture is the most up-to-date and relevant reading that ever comes my way.
goal knowing-god higher
For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
jobs sheep track
God has not abandoned us any more than he abandoned Job. He never abandons anyone on whom he has set his love; nor does Christ, the good shepherd, ever lose track of his sheep.
christian spring heart
Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.
