Nothing yet Everything The price for the salvation of all God’s people was paid in full by the Lord Jesus Christ. Any attempt to add anything to His finished work is to rob Him of his glory, and to say His blood is not sufficient to cover my sins. It is to change free grace […]

“A Merciful and Faithful High Priest”     Hebrews 2:17 It is this conformity to us that qualifies our Lord to be the kind of Priest we need. He was made a man that he might be our High Priest. And he suffered, being tempted as a man, that he might be “a merciful and […]

All error in theology comes from two sources. An attempt to make God less than He is or an attempt to make man more than he is.  Henry Mahan God is well-pleased, and receives with pleasure, approbation, and delight—all who approach His throne of grace, sensible of their needs—in the name of Christ crucified. Hence […]

I have loved to hear my Lord spoken of; now I am going to see Him. I have seen the print of His shoe on the earth; now I am going to sit at His feet. I have read His Word; now I am going to hear His voice. I have beheld His world; now […]

Grace denial? Winslow, “The Glory of the Redeemer in His People” Be cautious of grace denial. You will need much holy wisdom here, lest you overlook the work of the Spirit within you.

MAKE ME A CAPTIVE, LORD Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free; Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqu’ror be. I sink in life’s alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, And strong shall be my hand. My heart is weak and poor […]
