We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

I do not know what you feel, but I never cease to be grateful to these disciples. I am grateful for the record of every mistake they ever made, and for every blunder they ever committed, because I see myself in them. How grateful we should be to God that we have these Scriptures, how grateful to Him that He has not merely given us the gospel and left it at that. How wonderful it is that we can read accounts like this and see ourselves depicted in them, and how grateful we should be to God that it is a divinely inspired Word which speaks the truth, and shows and pictures every human frailty.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Prick him anywhere; and you will find that his blood is Bibline, the very essence of the Bible flows from him. He cannot speak without quoting a text, for his soul is full of the Word of God.
C.H. Spurgeon

    • A Mighty Fortress is Our God

    “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” by Dr. Martin Luther, 1483-1546

    1. A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing; For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On Earth is not his equal.
    2. Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing; Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.
    3. And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us; The Prince of Darkness grim — We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure, On little word shall fell him.
    4. That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth. The Spirit and the gifts are ours Though Him who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still, His kingdom us forever.
