*****************************
Grace does not run in the blood, but there are certain
privileges enjoyed by the children of believers that others do not
have. Our children have the
privilege of hearing the WORD. They
have the privilege of certain principles that others do not
have. We are blessed today
because of our Godly ancestors; not with salvation, but with
the means unto salvation.

(2 Timothy 1:5)
"I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee,
which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am
persuaded that is in thee also."
******************************
There is no subject more misunderstood by unconverted
souls that the unconditional freeness of Christ.
So little idea have we naturally of free grace, that we cannot
believe that God can offer a Saviour to us, while we are in a wicked,
hell-deserving condition. Oh,
it is sad to think how men argue against their own happiness, and will not
believe the very word of God!
ROBERT M. M'CHEYNE
******************************
The existence of God
is the foundation of all religion. Moses
begins with the Author of creation, before he treats of the promise
of redemption. Paul
preached God as creator (Acts 17:24) before he
preached Christ as mediator...The devil directs his fiercest
batteries against those doctrines in the Word, and those graces in the
heart, which most exalt God and bring men to the lowest subjection to
their Creator...Sin unlinks the dependence between God the Sovereign
and man the subject. Sin
endeavors to subject God to the wills of men.
God is deposed, and man is enthroned;
God made a slave, and man a sovereign above Him.
******************************
The preachers of the Gospel, in their particular
congregation, being utterly unacquainted with the purpose and secret
counsel of God, being also forbidden to pry or search into it, (Deuteronomy
29:21) may justifiably call upon every man to believe, with
assurance of salvation to every one in particular, upon his so doing;
knowing and being fully persuaded of this, that there is enough in the
death of Christ to save every one that shall do so; leaving the purpose
and counsel of God, on whom He will bestow faith, and for whom in
particular Christ died (even as they are commanded), to Himself...When God
calleth upon men to believe, He doth not, in the first place, call upon
them to believe that Christ died for them; but that "there is
none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be
saved," but only of Jesus Christ, through whom salvation is
preached.
******************************
There is no end to a pastor's anxieties.
Our first care is to get you into Christ; and next, to keep you
from falling. I have a good
hope, dearly beloved, that a goodly number of you have this day joined
yourselves to the Lord. But
now a new anxiety begins, to get you to walk in Christ, to walk after the
Spirit. "Now unto
him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless
before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion
and power, both now and for ever. Amen." (Jude 24-25)

CALL TO
WORSHIP
Edwin Hatch 1835-1889
Holy Spirit,
breathe on me,
Until my heart is clean;
Let sunshine fill its inmost part,
With not a cloud between.
Breathe on
me, breathe on me,
Holy Spirit breathe on me,
Take Thou my heart, cleanse every part,
Holy Spirit, breathe on me.
Holy Spirit, breathe on me,
My stubborn will subdue:
Teach me in words of living flame
What Christ would have me do.
Holy Spirit,
breathe on me,
Fill me with power divine;
Kindle a Flame of love and zeal
Within this heart of mine.
Holy Spirit breathe on me,
Till I am all Thine own,
Until my will is lost in Thine,
To live for Thee alone.
******************************
(Psalm 3:2-3)
"Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him
in God. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up
of mine head."
