Are you seeking God daily?

1/26/2018

We all love the glorious doctrine of salvation, but do we love sanctification?

If you are saved, you should pursue holiness (be separate and different from the world). Do you stand out as different or do you look just like the world?

If you are not daily struggling with these convictions, be mindful of why. Is it because you are truly pursuing God (how many of us daily have this type of conviction) or have you become complacent and worldly ( many of us dreadfully fall into this trap).

May we be reminded daily of the gospel and may it motivate us to seek Him first, reject complacency, and produce a faith expressing itself through love.

11 Reasons Spurgeon Was Depressed

1/23/2018

Having been struck with chronic health issues for about the last 18 years, weakness and pain have been my friends. I say that in jest of course, but it is what it is. In today's re-blog found HERE, I link an article from the Spurgeon Center discussing 11 reasons why he may have been depressed.

In all things, including pain, my hope is in the one who took my sin and will someday make me whole. It's a daily battle that the flesh often wins. The value of Christ and the understanding of my utter depravity is at least one blessing my despair has given me. May God help those who like myself suffer in this world, to fix their eyes on the next world. Spurgeon's great success and legacy in the gospel, is no doubt partially owed to what he suffered in this life, so that he could more accurately proclaim the way into the next life glorious.
