Have Mercy on Me

VERSE 1
I am a sinner; You’re blameless, Lord
My sins against You can’t be ignored
They will be punished, I know they must
Your law demands it, for You are just

PRE-CHORUS
If You would count
Everything that I’ve done wrong
Who could stand?
But there’s forgiveness with You, God

CHORUS
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
A broken and a contrite heart
You won’t turn away
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me
Because of Your steadfast love

VERSE 2
Father of mercy, You gave Your Son
To make atonement for wrongs I have done
What You required, Jesus fulfilled
I don’t deserve it— I never will

Quote – Triumph Over Sin – John Piper

Jeremiah Griffin — Tue, 01 May 2012 10:15:33 +0000

“I know of no other way to triumph over down sin long-term than … to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.”
–John Piper
Desiring God

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Colossians 1:15-20

Verse – Jonah 2:8 Vain Idols

Jeremiah Griffin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:41:39 +0000

Jonah 2:8

Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

The concept of idols in our lives focus on how how PROUD we are in our attitude towards God. In a relationship that we should embrace with much humility we attack God by belittling His salvation with our self righteous idols.

Why do we turn from God back to our sin as Israel did over and over again … it is a matter of repentance. Ongoing and critical to our Christian walk. Anyone who peddles salvation w/o repentance is dealing a false gospel.

I feel a sermon coming on

Truth vs Love

Why not go to Ephesus to preach the sermon on Grace and Truth … awesome to hear it, much less see it!

a two pronged approach to the Gospel that is biblically based… love it.

Simple prayer

Jeremiah Griffin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:21:14 +0000

It was stressful, the day was crazy, time was short lots to do before eye surgery. We ran around town and got things taken care of and as we pulled up to the hospital I asked, “Would you like me to pray with you?” The answer “Yes” I dove into a prayer that had been on my heart since early that morning. After I prayed, he looked at me and asked, “Mind if I pray?” I bowed my head in response and he started.

“Jesus, walk with me. Amen”

Simple, clear, and to the point. It didn’t matter what WE wanted out of the prayer, what mattered is that Jesus needed to come and do His work in the life and matters at stake. Humbled, I looked at him and said, “Wow, you are right that is all we need.”

He smiled an understanding smile and waved as he walked off into the hospital.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. (Romans 8:26)

God is good. A lesson learned that will not soon be forgotten.

Jesus, walk with me.

Becoming a better you? – Calling out a heretic by name

Jeremiah Griffin — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:50:26 +0000

All I can say is before you judge the “rightness or wrongness” of this sermon, please watch it, look up the scripture. Excellent example of calling sin sin w/o belittling the position.

Joel Olsteen on Obama and Mitt Romney

Jeremiah Griffin — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:25:07 +0000

I was in utter shock to hear this supposed “man of God” explain he chooses the “broad” path! Does he not realize what he is saying or does he believe the Hollywood hype that he has heard about himself? God forgive him and call him to repentance.

Christ Is Risen Matt Maher

Just heard this this Easter and I don’t know why we don’t sing this in church?!?! This is an awesome song ”Come AWAKE!”

Christ Has Risen lyrics

by Matt Maher

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He’s alive! He’s alive!
