Call To Worship

When oceans vast their depths reveal
And moons have ceased to wane,
The Lamb who died and rose again,
On Zion's hill shall reign.

His glorious name must long endure
When suns have ceased to shine;
And through eternity the saints
Will sing His praise divine.

As countless as the drops of dew,
Or sands upon the shore,
Are blessings which the ransomed have
In Christ forevermore.

Let ev'ry other name recede,
His name alone extol;
In Him reserved, there is the grace
To satisfy my soul.

(Tune: "Come, Holy Spirit")________________________________________

Luke 14: 28-33
Nothing is clearer to me in the scriptures than the total inability of fallen men to do anything spiritual. He must be born again and given what he could never produce of himself. These facts alone ought to convince me that the Lord is not here telling me to take inventory to see if I have in myself what it takes to be a disciple of Christ. When he tells us to count the cost of the tower and consult as to our power to overcome greater odds it is not to muster in ourselves what is needed but rather to convince us that we cannot do what is demanded. To build this tower and fight this battle I must depend and look to Christ alone. ~Pastor Darvin Pruitt

Romans 9:14 "What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy."

Paul asks what our response will be to the fore-expressed truth that God, in sovereign grace, set His affection upon Jacob and not Esau, before either were born or had done any good or evil. Will we say that "there is unrighteousness with God?"

I have heard sinners say that very thing. When teaching the truth of God directly from the word of God, concerning his electing grace in Christ, the response has been, "that's not fair."

Paul anticipated 2,000 years ago that you would say that. You are saying God is unrighteous, He deals with inequity, He never gave Esau a "chance" to be saved.

The truth is, God never gave Jacob a chance to be saved either, He just saved him, though he deserved Hell just like Esau. Salvation is not a chance event, it is by the eternal, deliberate purpose of God in love and grace toward His chosen.

If God gives us what is fair, that is, if He bases His decision upon us having done any good or evil, we all shall perish forever under His infinite wrath.
