CALL TO WORSHIP

Let saints lift up their hearts,

And with a thankful voice,

The wonders of their King proclaim,

And in their Lord rejoice.

‘Til God can change His mind,

And swear He has no choice,

That soul who in the Lord believes

Shall in the Lord rejoice.

As sure as God is God

And Abram heard His voice,

He’ll love His saints unto the end,

Then let them all rejoice.

He put away our sins,

And bought us with a price;

Our life, our hope, our all’s in Him;

And in Him we’ll rejoice!

(Tune: “I love Thy Kingdom, Lord” p. 188)

HE DOETH ACCORDING TO HIS WILL

“He doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?” (Daniel 4:35)

The Lord taught Nebuchadnezzar a truth that He teaches all of His people: God is sovereign over everything that happens in His creation and God always does His will. That lesson both humbles and comforts God’s people.

God’s sovereignty humbles God’s people by showing us that there is nothing we can do to get God to save us. God must save us by His will not ours. God must save us against our will, with our full consent. If any sinner would be saved, God must do all of the saving. That truth humbles our sinful flesh.

God’s sovereignty comforts the hearts of God’s people by showing us that God always has the power to keep His promises to His people. God has promised to save His people by His grace that is in Christ Jesus. Absolutely nothing can stop Him from doing it. God has promised “that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) Knowing that all things, both great and small, accomplish the will of God lets the believer rest calmly in the power and purpose of our God.

Pastor

The Black and White Of The Gospel

There are no gray areas in the Gospel. Salvation is all of grace or all of works. There is no in-between. Christ is either All in salvation or He is nothing in salvation. There is no in-between. Man is either completely sinful and unable to save himself, or he is his own savior. There are no gray areas. The Bible is either God’s infallible Word, or the production of fallen man. How we thank God for this! I find the older I get, the more gray other things become. Things I once felt strongly about, I no longer feel so assured! I do not have enough information to make a proper judgment and there are other points of view that have as much validity as mine! How Paul’s words, “We see through a glass darkly” describe my sight! With so much gray, how thankful I am for the black and white of the Gospel!

Pastor Todd Nibert

If salvation depends upon our being or doing anything, we shall inevitably be lost. Thank God, it does not; for the great fundamental principle of the Gospel is that Christ is All: man is nothing. It is not a mixture of Christ and man – it is all of Christ. The peace of the Gospel does not rest in part on Christ’s work and in part on man’s work; it rests wholly on Christ’s work, because that work is perfect, perfect forever; and it renders all who put their trust in Him as perfect as Himself! Christ must either be a whole Saviour or no Saviour at all. The moment a man says, “Except you be this or that, you cannot be saved,” he totally subverts the Gospel; for in the Gospel I find Christ coming down to me, just as I am – a lost, guilty, self-destroyed sinner; and coming, moreover, with a full remission of all my sins, and a full salvation from my lost estate, all perfectly wrought by Himself on the cross.

C. H. Mackintosh

Ah, blessed is he to whom God shows his own weakness and insufficiency to do anything of himself. Deem it not a curse, but a blessing, when God humbles your pride, however severe the discipline may be by which He does it. When He teaches you to lean upon Him alone for support, thank Him for it.
