Feast Of Fat Things

October 30, 2019 jakin7

It is true; the word is preached to all the world, to gather in the children of God’s purpose that are scattered up and down in the world {John 11:52}

and to leave the rest inexcusable;

but the prime end and aim of the Lord Christ thereby is to gather in those heirs of salvation unto the enjoyment of that feast of fat things which he has prepared for them in his house. …

John Owen (1616 – 1683)

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,

but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Matthew 16: 15,16

    In The Roar Of Your Waterfalls

    Why are you downcast, O my soul?
    Why so disturbed within me?

    Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God.

    My soul is downcast within me;
    therefore I will remember you
    from the land of the Jordan,
    the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

    Deep calls to deep

    in the roar of your waterfalls;

    all your waves and breakers
    have swept over me. Psalm 42:5-8

    To Every Man’s Conscience

    October 1, 2019 jakin7

    …we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God.

    On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

    And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Cor 4:2-4
