God’s Light Must Shine in Us. First.

January 12, 2011

In studying last night I came across a passage in God’s Word that illuminated from the pages. Like a gold nugget glistening from the riverbed, it drew me in with curiosity and excitement. I absolutely love it when something new is revealed to me in Scripture! As mentioned in Monday’s post, Circumcision of the Heart […]

Circumcision of the Heart and the Irresistible Call

January 10, 2011

If not for the sovereign and effectual grace of God, not one person in all the ages of the earth would be saved from the wrath of God, and deservedly so. Each of us has broken the perfect Law of God and no one is righteous before Him in their own regard (Romans 3:10-11). In […]
