“Events of all sorts creep or fly exactly as God pleases.”
William Cowper
“Events of all sorts creep or fly exactly as God pleases.”
William Cowper
“So you can see what is happening in the New Testament. Worship is being significantly deinstitutionalized, delocalized, de-externalized. The whole thrust is being taken off of ceremony and seasons and places and forms and is being shifted to what is happening in the heart – not just on Sunday but every day and all the time in all of life.”
John Piper
Written by Karen Holland
I will lift up my eyes
To my help and shield
To the One to whom my spirit yields
In the Lord I put all my hope and trust.
I will lift up my eyes
To the Maker of heaven and earth
Ever watching, ever guarding
He never sleeps
He alone has the power to keep my stumbling feet.
As I lift up my eyes
To the One who guards my ways
I will lift up my hands
To Him I will give all my praise
He is my Rock, my strength,
my impenetrable shield and
my joyful song!
“Learn then this basic truth, that the Creator is absolute Sovereign, executing His own will, performing His own pleasure, and considering nought but His own glory. ‘The LORD hath made all things FOR HIMSELF‘” (Proverbs 16:4).
A. W. Pink
Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds you abased and empty, His glory and power flow in.
Andrew Murray
“The only thing of our very own which we contribute to our salvation is the sin which makes it necessary.”
William Temple
“. . . God is so vastly wonderful, so utterly and completely delightful that he can, without anything other than himself, meet and overflow the deepest demands of our total nature, mysterious and deep as that nature is.”
A.W. Tozer
“The cross is not merely a past place of substitution, it is a present place of execution.”
