SOLA SCRIPTURA SUPREMACY.

8 days left to 🚹🚺👨‍👩‍👧⛪🚨

As contemporary ideologies continue to progress, so do the moral standards continue to regress. Plus, the world has never been so offended by plain reason before. Our society favors the "rights" of the "oppressed" while truth lies suppressed.

What should be the Christians' response? Should we be passive or "exhort one another every day?" Should we avoid controversy or "take every thought captive to obey Christ?"

Invite the brethren to "Our Solid Rock: Sola Scriptura & its Modern Challenges" this October 29, 2022. This event seeks to address pressing questions in relation to the Scriptures. We hope to see you there!

My constant prayer.

My merciful Father, I come to you. Forgive me. Release me from the clinging of my sins. Come and rescue me. Make me feel your embrace and satisfy my soul. Give me the power to kill sin. Give me rest from being led by the lusts of my flesh. Mercy Lord. Grace! Let your grace abound all the more for me for my sins are great. Cleanse me from the dirt of my desires. Set my heart in hunger for you. Make me thirst for your glory. Humble me with your sovereign hand. Teach me with your gentle rod. Bring me down at the feet of the cross and humiliate me so that I might clearly see the glory of the sin-bearing death of your Son. Comfort me with his righteousness imputed on me. Encourage me to move on by the power of the gospel. Let me run the race furthermore without any spark of confidence on me, but yours alone. Let me cherish your whole Deity. Let me delight in your offices. Let me savor your attributes. Let me feast on your counsel. Let me yearn for your presence. Let me rejoice with your joy. Make my joy full. Make my peace clear. Make my comfort abound. Make my tears fall. Make my sorrow true. Make my repentance constant. Make my fear grave. Rescue me O God from the sin that dwells. Rescue me O God! I will wait upon my Lord to set me free by his truth. To be sanctified by his truth. To be guided by his truth. Lead me more to the cross. Lead me more to my bearing it. Lead me more to my carrying it. Lead me more to self-denial. Lead me more to follow you. Lead me more to the doing of your will. Push me to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling. Let me find consolation that it is you who works within me both to will and to work. Let me be at your side, abiding in you. Apart from you, I am nothing. Apart from you, I will be left in sin, I will be pleased to continue in darkness. Apart from you, I am wretched, depraved, wrecked, lost, dead and dying; broken, rotten, worthless, drowned and drowning; ill-deserving, wrath-worthy, gloomy, dust, and dirt; chaff, fallen, spit, diseased, and cursed; doomed, damned, condemned, and infinitely opposite of your excellencies and perfections. Apart from you, I am nothing.

So draw me close to you. Take hold of me, Lord. Abide in me O God. Commune with me. Lift me to your presence. Pull me to your side. Drag me to your bosom. Sn**ch me to yourself. I want to reside in you. I desire you. I yearn for you. Make me delight in you. Grant me an increased taste for your glory. Remove any bitterness in my part. Regenerate my taste, quicken my thirst, make alive my hunger for you. Hold me. Keep me. I pray this, for I am unable to do anything except to my doom. Make me absolutely dependent on you O God. Have favor in me, not because of me, but of Christ alone. Amen

Three encouragements from the work of Christ to every believer:
1. He died for your sins. He bore the penalty and guilt of your sin so that you may be pardoned and forgiven.
2. He rose again for your justification. He did not only bear your sin, but he rose again as a proof of his righteousness and God's approval of his work so that his righteousness may be imputed to you and be reconciled to God.
3. Jesus Christ, as our Eternal High Priest, remains to be our intercessor so that salvation may not only be a possibility but a certainty. He is constantly interceding for us to the Father, so that the fruit of his works shall be applied to his people by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ offers not a partial but a COMPLETE SALVATION.

The promise is but the casket, and Christ the jewel in it; the promise but the field, and Christ the pearl hid in it, and to be chiefly looked at. The promises are the means by which you believe, not the things on which you are to rest. . .

And to clear it farther, we must conceive that the promises of forgiveness are not as the pardons of a prince, which merely contain an expression of his royal word for pardoning, so as we in seeking of it do rest upon, and have to do only with his word and seal, which we have to show for it. But God's promises of pardon are made in his Son, and are as if a prince should offer to pardon a traitor upon marriage with his child, whom in and with that pardon he offers in such a relation; so as all that would have pardon, must seek out for his child, and thus it is in the matter of believing. The reason of which is, because Christ is the grand promise, in whom, "all the promises are yes and amen," 2 Corinthians 1:20, and therefore he is called the Covenant, Isaiah 49:8. . . Now this is the tenure of all the promises: they all hold on Christ, in whom they are yes and amen, and you must take them up of him. . . And without this, to rest on the bare promise, or to look to the benefit promised, without eyeing Christ, is not an evangelical, but a Jewish faith, even such as the formalists among the Jews had, who without the Messiah closed with promises, and rested in types to cleanse them, without looking unto Christ the end of them, and as propounded to their faith in them. This is to go to God without a mediator, and to make the promises of the gospel to be as the promises of the law, Nehushtan in 2 Kings 18:4, (as Hezekiah said of the brazen serpent), a piece of brass, vain and ineffectual; like the waters of Bethesda, they heal not, they cleanse not, until this "angel of the covenant" come down to your faith in them.

"I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me." Galatians 2:20

"There is no grace glorifies God so much as this; a few thoughts of believing glorify him much more than a great deal of obedience." — Thomas Goodwin

After a meaningful discussion last month about FAITH and its Prime Objects, we are now down to the second installment of our series that will tackle the excellencies of our FAITH.

Do not miss the chance to learn and be all the more acquainted with this great gift that was freely given to us in Christ.
