Wedding Dress…

Here is a song by Derek Webb called Wedding Dress.  It is a powerful song with some hard lyrics that I pray causes you as it has me to search within my own heart and examine my own relationship with the Lord….May it be used for HIS glory…

Some reflection…

January 2, 2009 at 6:56 am (Calvinsim, Doctrines of Grace, Free Will, Grace, Total Depravity)

As I sit here this morning with a coffee, and the quiet of the morning, my mind wanders.  It is always thinking.  As I have sat and spent some time in God’s Word, I think even more and the Lord calls other things to mind as well.  I am grateful and thankful to God for His Mercy, Grace, and Love toward me.  I am reading through Jeremiah, and all through the book so far, it is so much about what God is doing, about His justice and judgement.   I read through passages in Ephesians, and Romans, and realize all the more just how undeserving I am of God’s Mercy and Grace.  The thought that He chose me, and that all He does is for His own glory and pleasure.  That somehow He gets glory and pleasure out of having saved my poor wicked sinful soul.  Nothing is more comforting and reassuring to me than to know that God chose me, and I did not choose Him.  How could I anyway? …In my lost condition, I was dead in my sins, doing nothing but sinning.  I was enslaved to it, in complete bondage to it.  I was at enmity with God, so how could I have of my own free will chosen Him?  It is impossible.  All those who say that it is, are taking Glory away from God and giving it to man.  I know that it has been so long since I have posted anything, and shame on me for not using this blog more, all to bring glory to the name of the Lord…..May all glory be given to the Lord Jesus Christ for the work that He is doing in this world.  Soli deo Gloria!
