Painting by Patrick Murphy God’s Grandeur The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;…

Learning Despair
The following is an excerpt from Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray. *** Once more: these disciples were men who had been led to despair of themselves. At the beginning of their three years’ class of instruction they had to give up all they possessed; but it was only at the end of that time that they began to…
Out of my sight
Originally posted on My utmost 4 His garbage can :
It is right for us to make so much of the finished work of Christ. It is no exaggeration to say that the death and resurrection was more profound than even the creation of this natural realm. Because His appearing is the goal and fulfillment of creation.…
I Believe in Science!
I follow a couple blogs that do a lot of outreach to atheists. They are Hardwired and See There’s this Thing Called Biology… Both of these sites feature engaging authors who are incisive and quick-witted. I laugh as much as I think when reading their posts. These blogs never disappoint when it comes to generating discussion, often with die-hard…

Off the Clock
I’m going to move this week. I hadn’t planned on taking a blogging break until I realized it’s been four days since my last post! Planned or not, apparently I’m taking a break. Typically, when I take a break, I encourage people to read past posts of mine or check out some of the pdf…
Incomprehensible Union
Some good thoughts on the Lord’s supper from Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin… *** But as this mystery of the secret union of Christ with believers is incomprehensible by nature, he exhibits its figure and image in visible signs adapted to our capacity…. We now, therefore, understand the end which this mystical blessing has…
Coming to Moriah
Originally posted on Bread for the Bride:
When Abraham laid his son Isaac on a sacrificial altar no witness was present but God. The Bible is silent on whether Abraham wept as he bound the boy to the firewood. The scriptures do not tell us whether he averted his eyes from Isaac’s frightened gaze. If…
