No man ever believes with a true and saving faith unless God inclines his heart; and no man when God does incline his heart can refrain from believing.
Blaise Pascal
Smallest Package
The world’s smallest package is a man wrapped up in himself.
Charles Swindoll
Manifest in Time
Written by Stephen Matthew Pruitt
before the world began
Manifest in time
predestined
Giving glory to the father
Like a lamb to the
slaughter
Laid his life down to take it
up again
Defeating sin and death
Christ our salvation
Redeemer and friend
The I am
the beginning and the end
His Work
Written by Steve Pruitt
God spoke a word; the world was formed
He breathed a new creation
When he had finished all his work
He gazed in jubilation
God sent his Word into the world
The firstborn of creation
With his last breath his work was done
The joy of his salvation
Genesis 1:1, 9, 31; John 1:1, 14; Colossians 1:15; John 19:30; Revelation 3:14; Psalms 51:12, 35:9; Isaiah 53:10
Best at Heart
Written by Steve Pruitt
In all the darkest times of life
When your world seems to crumble
There’s one whose hand is firm to hold
And keeps you when you stumble
The sovereign God is still at work
His plans will never alter
He always has your best at heart
His love will never falter
Psalms 37:24, 145:14; Philippians 2:13; Romans 8:28, 39; 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Not Obligated
God is not obligated to save anybody, to make any special act of grace, to draw anyone to Himself. He could leave the whole world to perish, and such would be a righteous judgment.
R.C. Sproul
Embarrassed
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.
Leonard Ravenhill
Lifeboat
The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.
