FOR THOUGHT: |
John
Newton
|
If two angels were to
receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule
earth’s grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its
meanest village, it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which
service fell to his lot, the post of ruler or the post of scavenger; for
the joy of the angels lies only in obedience to God’s will, and with
equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abraham’s bosom, or
be a chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home.

It used to be if anything
was arranged in the worship service other than Preaching, Singing and
Reading the Word of God that people were appalled. But now people are
appalled if that is all that is in the worship service.

How To Know If Someone Loves The Gospel
Pastor Paul Mahan
1. They are overwhelmed by
the GRACE of it. The true lover of the gospel never gets over the
undeserved favor which God has shown him in choosing and calling him to
believe and receive salvation.
2. They are overwhelmed by
the GREATNESS of it. The true lover of the gospel never gets over
the wonder, wisdom, power, and glory of the gospel. It is truly the
greatest story ever told and certainly the greatest thing the sinner has
ever known. And so he never gets enough of hearing it and will not (for
long) take it for granted nor listen indifferently nor insensitively to
it. A new and living heart will respond to words of life.
3. They are overwhelmed by
the PERSON of it. The true lover of the gospel is one who is in awe
of, amazed by, in love with, and enamored with the Lord Jesus Christ. When
asked about the Christ compared to others, the believer must exclaim, "He
is all together lovely." A loving heart enthusiastically
responds to the one it loves.
4. They are convinced of
the SINGLENESS of it. The believer is convinced that the gospel of
God's sovereign grace is the only gospel, the true gospel, and there is no
other!
5. They are convinced of
the CERTAINTY of it. The one who knows and loves the Lord Jesus
Christ completely trusts Him and finds all his assurance in Him who cannot
fail and cannot lie.
6. They have a DESIRE
for others to know it. Those who love the gospel want their friends and
family to hear it and believe it. Like the woman at the well, they say, "Come
see a man...is not this the Christ!" There is a sadness and
concern for those who know not the true Christ.

CALL
TO WORSHIP
Isaac Watts (1719)
Before Jehovah’s awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and He destroy.
His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.
We are His people, we His care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy Name.
We’ll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love;
Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
(Tune: "Doxology")
