A Proclamation

Memorial Day each year provides a fitting occasion upon which American citizens, who have ever been devoted to the ways of peace, may direct their attention to the human losses resulting from the ravages of war.

From the sacred memory of beloved friends and relatives who were sacrificed in the ordeal of battle, we may derive inspiration for renewed prayers and redoubled exertions in a mighty striving for peace.

Although the months and years after the end of hostilities in the world's most tragic war are steadily passing, mankind has not yet found the long-sought basis of an unbreakable, righteous peace. In all humility we wish to acknowledge our need for divine guidance.

ICYMI - Galatians 5 - From the Gospel

Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Holiness is not something we are called upon to do in order that we may become something; it is something we are to do because of what we already are."

ICYMI - Mark 14 - Through the Gospel

Joseph Stowell: "We have unfortunately come to believe that a watching world will know that we are Christians by the worldly things we avoid or the churchy things we do. Christ has a different perspective. Our identity with Him is marked by the oneness that comes from our mutual love for each other."

ICYMI - Mark 14 - Through the Gospel

Alistair Begg: "We have sought to circumscribe the ministry of God’s Spirit, despite the fact that it is depicted in terms of two of the most uncontrollable aspects of nature – wind and fire. We have settled for adequacy when God’s purpose for us is abundance."

ICYMI - Mark 14 - Through the Gospel

C.H. Spurgeon: "We took our sins and drove them like nails through his hands and feet. We lifted him high up on the cross of our transgressions, and then we pierced his heart through with the spear of our unbelief."

ICYMI - Mark 14 - Through the Gospel

Robert Dale: "The real truth is that while He came to preach the gospel, His chief object in coming was that there might be a gospel to preach."

ICYMI - Genesis 40 - Remember

Jerry Bridges: God never allows pain without a purpose in the lives of His children. He never allows Satan, nor circumstances, nor any ill-intending person to afflict us unless He uses that affliction for our good. God never wastes pain. He always causes it to work together for our ultimate good, the good of conforming us more to the likeness of His Son (see Romans 8:28-29).

As this day winds down, let Christ’s words from the cross remind us of the depth of God’s love for sinners, for us.

It was us sinners who reproached him. It was us sinners who shamed him. It was us sinners who dishonored him.

Rather than finding pity or comfort from us sinners, we gave him gall [a bitter herb] for His meat and vinegar for His thirst.

But, when we were His adversaries, when we were His enemies, He died for us.

What more could you need? What more could He do?

It is finished.
