Faith On
Faith is not a meritorious work. It is never the ground of justification—it is simply the channel through which it is received and it, too, is a gift. — John MacArthur Ever hit something so deep it just puts your mind out of wack? This was it for me last night. Faith is a condition […]
Beneath the Cross
Beneath the cross of Jesus I find a place to stand, And wonder at such mercy That calls me as I am; For hands that should discard me Hold wounds which tell me, “Come.” Beneath the cross of Jesus My unworthy soul is won. Beneath the cross of Jesus His family is my own— Once […]

Complete in Thee – Hymn
Complete in Thee! no work of mine May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine; Thy blood hath pardon bought for me, And I am now complete in Thee. Complete in Thee—no more shall sin, Thy grace hath conquered, reign within; Thy voice shall bid the tempter flee, And I shall stand complete in Thee. […]
Oh Thou, In Whose Presence
Oh Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in affliction I call. My comfort by day and my song in the night. My hope, my salvation, my all. Where dost Thou, dear shepherd, resort with Thy sheep, To feed them in pastures of love? Say, why in the valley of death should […]
