daily I'm constrained to be.
Let thy goodness, like a fetter
bind my wandering heart to Thee!"

"We must be clothed with humility; for the proud in spirit are those that cannot bear to be trampled upon, but grow outrageous, and fret themselves, when they are hardly bestead. That will break a proud man's heart, which will not break a humble man's sleep. Mortify pride, therefore, and a lowly spirit will easily be reconciled to a low condition." -Matthew Henry

"Man's Sensitivity to trivia, and his insensitivity to matters of major importance, reveal he has a strange disorder."
-Blaise Pascal


"Most people lack the true repentance. They lack the true contrition, the true brokenness. They are void of urgent desperation. They don't have a true relationship to Jesus Christ. They just "hang around" Jesus... And they do not know what it means to bow to that which is eternal. To be concerned about that. They want a gospel that doesn't ask for repentance. They want a gospel that has no threats. They want a gospel that allows them to have some superficial attachment to Jesus, but not a bowing to His absolute sovereignty at any cost. They want a gospel that fixes them in this world to make them more comfortable. That's not it. And that's not what Jesus offers."
—John MacArthur

Christless Christianity

This is a recent program of the White Horse Inn on "Christless Christianity: The American Captivity of the Church." Much of what is trying to pass itself off as Christianity today is not Christianity at all. As B. B. Warfield pointed out, is there really such a thing as Christianity without Jesus Christ?

A Christianity without redemption - redemption in the blood of Jesus Christ as the sacrifice for sins - is nothing less than a contradiction in terms. Precisely what Christianity means is redemption in the blood of Jesus. No one need wonder therefore that, when redemption is no longer sought and found in Jesus, men should begin to ask whether there remains any real necessity for Jesus. We may fairly contend that the germ of Christless Christianity is present wherever a proper doctrine of redemption has fallen away or even has only been permitted to fall out of sight.

Praise the Lord Jesus for that Youtube you posted dear sister.....what a tremendous blessing to fear the Lord God Almighty. Jer 9:23-24
I'm going to have to blog a link to that deal.....

As my pastor says - trembling before the Lord, fearing Him is not something you do before you're saved nor even immediately after being saved...it is something you grow into. Immature Christians have little to no fear. Trembling increases as knowledge increases as we know the one who's omnipotent wrath we are being saved FROM. Saved from God BY God.
