Changed Blogs!

Changing blog to www.EchoOfGlory.com! More details in link. #echoofglory

Quick news: I’ve moved blogs! All of this blog’s content has been transferred to www.echoofglory.com, and it is LIVE! The first post is here.

This transition was prompted by seeing the ads (that are really quite unacceptable) at the bottom of some of my pages on this blog. Then, it quickly grew into a much bigger project (that is thankfully mostly done).

People to thank:

For access to their…

An Active, Lively, Restless Faith

"A true faith in Jesus Christ ... is an active, lively, restless principle." - George Whitefield

Jesus Christ has begun and He will carry on, He will finish the good work in our souls. — We have nothing to do but to lay hold on Him by faith, and to depend on Him for wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. Not but we must be workers together with Him; for a true faith in Jesus Christ will not suffer us to be idle. — No, it is an active, lively, restless principle; it fills the…

For Whom We Have Waited

"This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation." #MaranathaLordJesus

Isaiah 25:1-9

O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness. For You have made a city into a heap, A fortified city into a ruin; A palace of strangers is a city no more, It will never be rebuilt. Therefore a strong people will glorify You; Cities of ruthless nations will revere You. For You…

The Center a Productive Life: God

Ever wanted to be more productive? Then center your life on God. Some reasons why:

These are probably the best few pages I have ever read on being productive.

… Perhaps the chief competitor to God-centeredness is simply making our own aims our center. This, then, leads us to be work-centered, or possession -centered, or pleasure-centered, or having any of those other centers. So it’s important to say that not only do we need to go beyond principle-centeredness to…

For the Sake of the Kingdom of Heaven

What one would give up for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven: #marriage, and done with no regrets. #JesusIsBetter

Never did he marry. He died alone.

He never had a helper, a mate, a lover, a partner. He bought no engagement ring, had no wedding, had no home with a wife. Every night he went to sleep, he went to sleep alone. Every morning he woke from rest, he awoke alone. He did not even have a hope of growing old with a beloved, for there was no beloved.

Never did he marry. He died alone.

The blessings of…

Do Not Linger

Taken from J.C. Ryle’s sermon on Genesis 19:16 — “He lingered.”

But to walk closely with God–to be really spiritually-minded–to behave like strangers and pilgrims–to be distinct from the world in employment of time, in conversation, in amusements, in dress–to bear a faithful witness for Christ in all places–to leave a savour of our Master in every society–to be prayerful, humble, unselfish,…

Why the special revelation of the Word is superior to counsel than general revelation in the world — Psalm 19:7-11.

John Street comparing special revelation (Ps 19:7-11) to general revelation (Ps 19:1-6):

And if it is true that the Word of God is greater in bringing about the glory of God in man than general revelation [and it is true], then why would the Christian want to return to the simpler and more fundamental truths of general revelation when he has a far greater life-transforming truth at his disposal?

Let Us Not Be Faithless, But Believing

J.C. Ryle on the difference between fake faith with true faith. #holiness #howthenshallwelive?

J.C. Ryle on the difference between fake faith with true faith:

…That man must be blind who does not see thousands around him who are daily preferring the world to God–placing the things of time before the things of eternity, and the things of the body before the things of the soul. We may not like to admit this, and we try hard to blink the fact. But so it is.

And why do they do so? No doubt…

Only One Life

One year of working, done. I share Studd's sentiments: "Only one life, 'twill soon be past, / Only what's done for Christ will last."

Only One LifeBy C.T. Studd Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way; Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done; Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgement seat; Only one life,’twill…

The Wrath of God

There is hardly a more uncomfortable doctrine than this: the wrath of God. And yet, it must be taught — and heeded. #Ephesians2

The Spirit of Disobedience

A brief study on Satan, the spirit of disobedience who incites sinners to live in the spirit of disobedience.

I have the privilege and responsibility of teaching a small Bible study every Friday at a local high school. This is the fourth post in the series. If you do happen to read, please pray that the Lord would bring unsaved sinners to our Bible studies, and that He would be pleased to save them.
