The Science of Sciences

In a sermon entitled, The Bible, C.H. Spurgeon explains: "The science of Jesus Christ is the most excellent of sciences. Let no one turn away from the Bible because it is not a book of learning and wisdom. It is. Would ye know astronomy? It is here: it tells you of the Sun of Righteousness and the Star of Bethlehem. Would you know botany? It is here: it tells you of the plant of renown - the Lily of the Valley, and the Rose of Sharon. Would you know geology and mineralogy? You shall learn it here: for you may read of the Rock of Ages, and the White Stone with the name engraven thereon, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Would ye study history? Here is the most ancient of all the records of the history of the human race. Whate'er your science is, come and bend o'er this book; your science is here. Come and drink out of this fair fount of knowledge and wisdom, and ye shall find yourselves made wise unto salvation. Wise and foolish, babes and men, gray-haired sires, youths and maidens - I speak to you, I plead with you, I beg of you respect your Bibles, and search them out, for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and these are they which testify of Christ."

May God give us grace to love our Bibles and to love the Jesus they show us!

God is Our Song

We adore You God because You’re Holy and True
Beautiful, Incomprehensible and Powerful too
Sovereign, Omniscient and Good to the core
Unarticulatable, heart-pounding…..more!!!
All things made for You, from beginning to end
You are the Center, even when we pretend
From Adam to antichrist, from Eden to Zion
You are The King forever reigning as both Lamb and Lion
We enjoy expressing truths of You we’ve never before thought
Sparking stronger emotions our hearts never before taught
Were every rock a sixteenth note and the oceans choral staff
One could never skip the fullness of Your glory overdraft
Our words are weak and insufficient to resound the pitch Your due
There is none like You our Precious LORD
We love You…we love You…we love You…we love YOU!!!
