Let Us Never Doubt →
theoldnewchurch:
“Let us never doubt for a moment, that the preaching of Christ crucified – the old story of His blood, righteousness, and substitution – is enough for all the spiritual necessities of all mankind. It is not worn out. It is not obsolete. It has not lost its power. We need nothing new – nothing more broad and kind – nothing more intellectual – nothing more effectual. We need...

The Imitation of Christ:
“He is truly great who hath charity. He is truly great who is little in his own eyes, and counteth for nothing all the heights of honor. He is truly prudent who esteemeth all earthly things as dung, that he may win Christ. And he is truly most learned who doth the will of God and forsaketh his own will.”

Be holy, for I am Holy. →
unworthyofhisgrace:
where has our pursuit of holiness gone?
We are told 8 times “to be holy” because He, our God, is holy. We have been given such high calling. It is a huge privilege to be chosen as God’s priesthood, to represent Him to this world. Not only a privilege, a responsibility. We maypositionally be holy, because of Christ’s sacrifice, but we practically need to pursue...

love, love, love. even when it’s hard, or awkward, or puts you in a place where you might receive ridicule, or you don’t want to, or you’d rather do something else, or you’re scared: give love, give love, give love.

Amazing Grace (the new verses) :)
A wooden cross held up for me,
The Savior worn and tried!
He endured shame for you and I,
for love, He bled and died.
There in the grave His body lay
For two dark, dismal days!
But on the third He walked away
Killing death and raising grace.
For Him I’ll stand though pain and fear
I’ll never let Him go!
I’ll hold Him close. My Savior near
Brings joy too vast to...

The Gospel and The Soundbooth: when technical... →
theoldnewchurch:
What happens when something like a squealing microphone or video not playing ruins what would’ve otherwise been a “worship moment?”
The answer lies in your understanding of technology and the role that it plays in the gospel.
I don’t know if you are like me, but I am a perfectionist. I know, I…
Everything about this is spot on. A lesson we should all be practicing!

Oh, my heart. Sometimes it feels like it’s bursting at the seams. (You should know I have many other things I should be doing right now rather than pouring words out over tumblr.) Yesterday was a normal day for me, just like every Valentine’s Day. My dear Momma gave me candy, I went to worship team practice, I laughed hard with my friends, and I felt old over a best friend’s...
