Series: When You PrayScripture: Matthew 6: 7-15 “A debtor to mercy alone, Of covenant mercy I sing; Nor fear, with Thy righteousness on, My person and offering to bring. The terrors of law and of God With me can have nothing to do; My Savior’s obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view.” Augustus Toplady “Honestly, I want to be like Christ. But honestly, I want to be like the Christ who turned the water into wine, not the Christ who thirsted on the cross. I want to be the clothed Christ, not the one whose garment was stripped and gambled away. I want to be the Christ who fed the five thousand, not the one who hungered for forty days in the wilderness. I want to be the free Christ, walking through the wheatfields with His disciples, not the imprisoned Christ who was deserted by them . . . This is the dark side of Christianity, the side we don’t see when we sign up. That if we want to be like Christ, we have to embrace both sides of His life. What else could it mean when the Bible talks about th

Series: Life of MosesScripture: Exodus 5:22 - 6:13 “Oh! I love God’s ‘shalls’ and ‘wills.’ There is nothing comparable to them. Let a man say ‘shall,’ what is it good for? ‘I will,’ says man, and he never performs; ‘I shall,’ says he, and he breaks his promise. But it is never so with God’s ‘shalls.’ If He says ‘shall,’ it shall be; when He says ‘will,’ it will be.”  Charles Spurgeon “The secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt he is.”  Ann Voskamp “A bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench . . . they have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.”  Isaiah 42:3 and Jeremiah 8:11The post Courage, Dear Heart first appeared on Hope Church PCA.

Series: Life of MosesScripture: Exodus 5:1-6:1 “Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face, And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace, Be deaf when I complain? No still the ear of sovereign grace, Attends the mourner’s prayer. Oh may I ever find access, To breathe my sorrows there.”  Anne Steele “When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples.”  Stephen Crane “If we remember God’s grace, we lose the pride that would make us a Pharisee and the despair that would make us a cynic.”  Merold WestphalThe post It’s the Hope that Kills You first appeared on Hope Church PCA.

Series: Life of MosesScripture: Exodus 4:1-17 “Consider the mighty ways in which God used a dead stick of wood. ‘God so used a stick of wood’ can be a banner cry for each of us. Though we are limited and weak in talent, physical energy and psychological strength, we are not less than a stick of wood. But as the rod of Moses had to become the rod of God, so that which is me must become the me of God. The Scripture emphasizes that much can come from little if the little is truly consecrated to God.” Francis Schaeffer, “No Little People, No Little Places” “Take these hands / Teach them what to carry Take these hands / Don’t make a fist Take this mouth / So quick to criticize Take this mouth / Give it a kiss Yahweh, Yahweh / Always pain before a child is born Yahweh, Yahweh / Still I’m waiting for the dawn” U2, “Yahweh” “For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to
