Ask Yourself, "Am I A Pseudo-Sovereign?"

Please read this article by Paul Tripp and consider: "What is it that you really want out of life?  What is it that you want from God's hand?  What is the true dream for which you have been working?  What are the joys that captivate your eyes and control your heart?

And More on Walking in Fear and Comfort

I deeply appreciate Charles Spurgeon's ability to make much of God's grandeur! "The splendours of his love and of his grace are as amazing as the terror of his sovereignty." Please read the rest.

Walking in Fear and in the Holy Spirit's Comfort

I'm still meditating on Acts 9:31.  "And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it [the church] multiplied."  This quote from Spurgeon is great!

Yom Kippur and God's Son, the Lamb

Yom Kippur was September 18. Here is a powerful video that provides depth of meaning to Scripture passages describing the sacrifice of the precious Lamb of God. Parents, I recommend viewing it yourselves first before deciding whether or not to show your it to your children.

And Walking in the Fear of the Lord

"And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, [the church] multiplied" (Acts 9:31).  In my sermon last Sunday (Sept. 5) I said that I was not satisfied with what I expressed about the meaning of this descriptive statement about the church in Judea, Galilee and Samaria.  I think it should not be taken as a formulaic statement for numerical church growth because I'm quite sure Luke didn't think that way.  But it is a description of believers in Christ in healthy, reverent, awestruck relationship with the Lord who, when they obeyed the Great Commission out of reverence for Him and suffered because of it, lived in the comfort of the Spirit promised by Jesus Christ.

I'm still trying to think more deeply about these great words for Christian "walking" and I invite you to join me in searching the Scriptures about this.  For example, I read 2 Corinthians 7:1 and saw that walking in the fear of the Lord connects with holiness-- "Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of the Lord."  What do you find in the Word about "walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit?
