Here's an interesting quotation from the writings of Stephen Charnock, a preacher who lived in 17th century England.
"His power, as well as his wisdom, gives him a right to govern: nothing can equal him, therefore nothing can share the command with him; since all things are his works, it is fittest they should be under his order: he that frames a work, is fittest to guide and govern it. God hath the most right to govern, because he hath knowledge to direct his power, and power to execute the results of his wisdom: he knows what is convenient to order, and hath strength to effect what he orders. As his power would be oppressive without goodness and wisdom, so his goodness and wisdom would be fruitless without power."
This blog is to communicate urgent concerns that God be glorified in our lives. Secondarily, but importantly, I want to communicate the need to struggle against tyrannies in our culture, and the preservation of liberty and the principles of the U.S. Constitution.
Worship Services and Bible Study Resume in Brooklyn, NY
Greetings to all: Have you ever wondered what is the purpose of your life? Do you ever feel that even your closest friends do not understand you in your deepest depths?
Almighty God wants you to be restored to hope. Hope comes from worship of a merciful, faithful, righteous, holy, forgiving, just, and loving God. Or maybe you say, "I'm a positive person. I'm already hopeful. I don't need to be 'restored to hope'." This teacher/writer is replying to you that there is hope and there is also Hope with a capital "H." Hope with a capital "H" is more than enjoying life. It's more than a positive attitude. It is rooted in salvation.
As a psychology intern in Canada years ago, my supervisor, a psychotherapist specializing in short-term psychoanalysis, asserted to me that "there is no such thing as salvation." He insisted that humanity's cycle of life was rooted and based entirely in natural process. Though I was myself an atheist, I found myself asserting at the time that there was salvation. Why was I indignant at his naturalism? I couldn't understand myself. Yet, without any impulse to study the Bible, to pray, or to inquire of any clergy, I emphatically stated and was certain that indeed there was something in this universe worthy of being called "salvation." Since then, I was invited into His kingdom. I received the call on my life. I have experienced His saving love, and desire to communicate it to others.
We shall reach out to you in friendship and caring. Jesus, second person of the Trinity, came as the Incarnate God to offer a true path of SALVATION to whomever will receive Him as their Savior and Lord. In Hebrew, He is "Yeshua."
We teach and preach our wonderful and beautiful Savior and Lord under the rubric of "By grace alone, by faith alone, by Christ alone, by Scripture alone, and for the glory of God alone."
We are not holding services at the present time, but please stay in touch with this blog. We are re-posting again after a seven year break. God bless you one and all.
