Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

Quote of the Week:  Bunyan

DateSunday, March 18, 2007 at 06:27AM

Import of the word grace

By this word grace we are to understand God's free, sovereign, good pleasure, whereby He acts in Christ towards His people.  Grace and mercy therefore are terms that have their distinct significations; mercy signifies pitifulness, or a running over of infinite compassion to objects in a miserable and helpless condition. But grace signifies that God still acts in this as a free agent, not being wrought upon by the misery of the creature, but of His own princely mind. 

John Bunyan, The Throne of Grace
