Another old Larry Norman song

A song-letter to Alwyn Wall and Malcolm Wild (both of whom are Calvary Chapel Pastors)
I think its quite interesting. What do you think of it?

Believing for a lamborghini???

A short interesting clip. It certainly gave me a laugh!! Hope it gives you a laugh too.
Serious message behind it though.

Country Church

I heard this years ago, and I still really like it.
What do you think about it?

Another Riley excerpt: Windyridge Revisited

Following on from the previous post, another great quote from the same person in the story:

"The way of transgressors is hard and full of pits, and the King's highway is a lovely road, because though there are lots of hills and valleys and dark places, there is the King himself with you, and your mouth is filled with laughter and your tongue with singing and your heart leaps for joy."
 (W. Riley, Windyridge Revisited)

Yet another wonderful reminder that we can know "the King" with us all along life's journey.
What a blessing and privilege to walk with our Saviour King. When we know He is with us, we need never be afraid. Are you experiencing the reality of these words? Does your heart leap for joy at the mention of our King? Or have you been one of the transgressors whose way has been hard and full of pits?
Either way, King Jesus knows all about it and cares more for you than you could possibly imagine.
Truly our tongues should never cease singing His praise.

1 excerpt from Ryle and 1 from Riley.

It's been a while since we've had a post of quotes, so here we are again.

I saw this on a link from twitter and I found it quite encouraging.
I hope you do too.

"The name JESUS means “Saviour.” It is the same name as Joshua in the Old Testament. It is given to our Lord because “He saves His people from their sins.” This is His special office. He saves them from the guilt of sin, by washing them in His own atoning blood. He saves them from the dominion of sin, by putting in their hearts the sanctifying Spirit. He saves them from the presence of sin, when He takes them out of this world to rest with Him. He will save them from all the consequences of sin, when He shall give them a glorious body at the last day. Blessed and holy are Christ’s people! From sorrow, cross, and conflict they are not saved. But they are saved from sin for evermore. They are cleansed from guilt by Christ’s blood. They are made fit for heaven by Christ’s Spirit. This is salvation. He who cleaves to sin is not yet saved."~ J.C. Ryle, Expository Thoughts on Matthew 

The following is a short excerpt from a book I just finished reading. W. Riley wrote several excellent books, the most famous of which is probably "Windyridge" and that is the one I just finished. It's a good bit of truth to remember. Let's hold on to it!!!

"no trouble need ever o'erwhelm you, no temptation need ever cause you to fall, no weakness of the body need ever affect the strength of the soul, no darkness of earth need ever shut out the light of heaven, because, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." "

Covenant service

Tomorrow morning at Brookhouse Methodist Church is our annual Covenant service. 
It contains these challenging words:

'I am no longer my own but yours.
Put me to what you will,
rank me with whom you will;
put me to doing,
put me to suffering;
let me be employed for you,
or laid aside for you,
exalted for you,
or brought low for you;
let me be full,
let me be empty,
let me have all things,
let me have nothing:
I freely and wholeheartedly yield all things
to your pleasure and disposal.
And now, glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
you are mine and I am yours.'
(The Methodist Covenant prayer)

I guess it could be summarised as "I surrender all", or "Jesus, please make me more like you".
I'm usually greatly challenged : Will I put this into practice as much as I can?
Well, I think they're powerful words. What do you think?
