Delight Yourself in the Lord (and Do Whatever You Want!)

John MacArthur- blog

Delight Yourself in the Lord (and Do Whatever You Want!

From the transcript:

God’s will is that you be saved, spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, suffering, and saying thanks all the time. That’s God’s will.

You say, “Ah, come on. You’re cheating me. I thought I was gonna get an answer about the girl I’m supposed to marry.” Oh, I’m gonna give you that. I’m gonna tell you exactly what to do. You say, “I want a specific answer.” Well that’s good. There’s one final principle and you’re gonna like it. You’re gonna like it.

If you’re saved, spirit-filled, sanctified, submissive, suffering and thankful – you ready for this? Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want. Marry whoever you want. Go wherever you want.

The Power of the Gospel.

This is an extract from Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen that describes the power of the Gospel. Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Doctrine  Page 48:

From : Grace to you blog

What is the Scriptural basis for an “age of accountability” regarding a child’s salvation?

I think the best way to answer that is to say this: There is no “age of accountability” identified in Scripture, as such. There is nothing in the Bible that says, “Here is the age and from here on you are responsible!” I think the reason for that is because children mature at different paces. That would be true from culture to culture, and from age to age in history.

Does God Cause Christians to Suffer?

Romans 8

January 31, 2011

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

For Christians, this verse contains perhaps the most glorious promise in Scripture. It is breathtaking in its magnitude, encompassing absolutely everything that pertains to a believer’s life.

Matthew 6:9-13 (King James Version)

Matthew 6:9-13 (King James Version)

9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11Give us this day our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Matteus 6:9-13

9  Só moet julle dan bid: Onse Vader wat in die hemele is, laat u Naam geheilig word;

10  laat u koninkryk kom; laat u wil geskied, soos in die hemel net so ook op die aarde;

11  gee ons vandag ons daaglikse brood;

12  en vergeef ons ons skulde, soos ons ook ons skuldenaars vergewe;

13  en lei ons nie in versoeking nie, maar verlos ons van die Bose. Want aan U behoort die koninkryk en die krag en die heerlikheid tot in ewigheid. Amen.
