2 Chronicles 16..
..making firm in my heart my purpose to rely on the Lord in the ministry of melodic worship this weekend, and revealing the Lords heart as His eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him. praise the Lord my strength! psalm 18. saved from my enemies and…myself!
The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares for this, or exhibits this, or results from this… .
In the Christian story God descends to re-ascend. He comes down; down from the heights of absolute being into time and space, down into humanity … down to the very roots and sea-bed of the Nature He has created....

i love hymns! they are a particular blessing to...
O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight,
On whom in affliction I call;
My comfort by day and my song in the night,
My hope, my salvation, my all.
Where dost Thou, dear Shepherd, resort with Thy sheep
To feed them in pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should i weep,
Or alone in this wilderness roam?
O why should i wander an alien from Thee,
or cry in the desert...

no condemnation. never again. ever. it can no longer exists for the christian. for me. i am not just ”no longer under it”, but it doesn’t even exist anymore. because He was condemned, there can never be condemnation for me for the things that i have done. the spotless Lamb who was slain satisfied the enormity of my debt. no guilt in life, no fear in death. just love. i LOVE Him.

when i am old
i have been reading the old testament a lot lately. i mean..the old old testament. pre-psalm. i came across caleb again today and spent the rest of my morning a little convicted and letting the Lord expose some things in my heart. i have read it all before with little influence yet, in truth, there is a wealth of practical application if you happen to be looking for it.
when i am old, will my...

“But let all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may exult in You. For You bless the righteous, O Lord; You cover him with favor as with a shield.” — Psalm 5:11-12
i. cannot. wait. for. the. crazy. heart. soundtrack.
‘…but if you have not yet found out that Christ and Him crucified is the theme of the entire volume, you have read your Bible hitherto to very little profit. Your religion is a heaven without a sun. ‘
i am especially mindful of His saving death tonight, and in the morning i will sing my guts out.

His love and grace. My wickedness. His mercy and atonement. ”..when I atone for you all that you have done, declares the Lord God.” Broken, overwhelmed, resurrected, revived, humbled, overjoyed, devastated, washed, covered, redeemed, restored, and betrothed to a King who I never could have hoped for in an eternity. Out of all the beauty that He could have created, worlds of light...
