Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.. – Romans 6:12 One thing that God has been teaching me, and in my own daily experiences, all times that I can think of when there is strife, pain, difficulty in this life it’s rooted in a few things.  Primarily [...]

We had a good sermon Sunday by Don Whitney which essentially covered the topic of faith, and unanswered prayer.  Paul was leading worship this Sunday and made the comment during the service about meekness, and then followed up by sending this out. Meekness toward God is that disposition of spirit in which we accept His [...]

 This is what I was reading this morning in my study on the Sermon On The Mount. I may comment later but the passage speaks for itself. Page 261 Studies in the Sermon on the Mount By Dr. Martyn Lloyd –Jones And the whole trouble is just self and self-assertion. That is self regarded doctrinally. [...]

REGENERATION O God of the highest heaven, occupy the throne of my heart, take full possession and reign supreme, lay low every rebel lust, let no vile passion resist thy holy war; manifest thy mighty power, and make me thine forever.

This last Saturday morning I woke up early, looked outside, and I saw the beautiful morning sun. Normally I am up earlier [...]

I have never posted this on my website so I will do it today. It explains clearly that faith without works is dead, that there is a change that must take place as “evidence” of truth believing faith in Jesus Christ. Paul Washer is just a man, but a man who understands repentance, and faith, [...]

Last night was our second night out on the streets this Spring.  I confess after recently re-reading Hortio Bonar’s book “Words to Winners of Souls” I find myself sometimes almost in a despair over my own heart’s lack of crying out for the souls of the lost.  Not just on the streets but every where, [...]

I received a note today from a guy who’s on my facebook site.  I log into face book now and again and as they’ve added more stuff, I’ve visited far less frequently.  In fact most of the time it’s a major waste of “Time” of which I’m attempting to work toward being a better steward.  [...]
