Thank You Lord:
For Your sovereign control over our
circumstances
For Your holy character in spite of our
sinfulness
For Your commitment to us even when
we wander astray
For Your Word that gives direction
For Your love that holds us close
For Your gentle compassion in our sorrows
For Your consistent faithfulness through
our highs and lows
For Your understanding when we are
confused
For Your Spirit that enlightens our eyes
For Your grace that removes our guilt.

‘Faithfulness’

Pastor Mark
“But the incomprehensibility of the
Divine nature is not a reason why we
should desist from reverent inquiry
and prayerful strivings to apprehend
what He has so graciously revealed
to Himself in His Word. Because we
are unable to acquire perfect
knowledge, it would be folly to say
we will therefore make no efforts to
attain to any degree of it.”
Charles Pink
“Nothing will so enlarge the intellect,
nothing so magnify the whole soul of
man, as a devout, earnest,
continued, investigation of the great
subject of the Deity. The most
excellent study for expanding the
soul is the science of Christ and Him
crucified and the knowledge of the
Godhead in the glorious trinity.”
