We Love God!

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

We need to reckon on the fact that we died to sin’s reign, that it no longer has any dominion over us, that God has united us with the risen Christ in all His power, and has given us the Holy Spirit to work in us. Only as we accept our responsibility and appropriate God’s provisions will we make any progress in our pursuit of holiness.
Jerry Bridges

Except in rare cases, the experience of direct interventions of God’s guidance in the lives of various Bible characters was not indicative of normal discipleship and they are likely recorded precisely because of their unusual nature. Due to the compressed makeup of the Bible it appears to its reader that God is speaking directly more often than He actually does.

    • Yes To The Cost

    Posted on

    The Son of Man in agony
    He cried out, “Take this cup from Me
    And not My will, let Yours be done
    Not My will, let Yours be done”
    The choice would cost Him everything
    The weight of sin poured out on Him
    And not my will, let Yours be done

    He counted the cost
    That all the world would know this love
    And now my response
    Is my yes and once and for all

    The fear of man is drowning now
    The fear of God has filled my soul
    I cannot be silent, no
    I will not be silent, no
    A passive life I will not live
    Awake my soul to burn again
    I cannot be silent, no

    And we are the sons and the daughters of thunder
    We are the ones who will carry revival
    And we give our lives for the sake of the Gospel
    No compromise, for the cost has been settled
    And we are the sons and the daughters of thunder
    And we are the ones who will carry revival
    And we give our lives for the sake of the Gospel
    And no compromise, for the cost has been settled

    It’s settled
    We say “yes” to You, Jesus
    I say “yes”
    Here we go!

    I say “yes”
