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:  Schaeffer

DateMonday, April 30, 2007 at 08:08AM

. . .if there is any real victory in my life, it must not be thought of as my victory or my perfection.  Such a notion does not fit the scriptural picture of man or God's dealing with us since man has sinned.  It is not my victory, it is always Christ's victory; it is never my work or holiness, it is always Christ's work and Christ's holiness.  When I begin to think and to grow in the idea of my victory, there is really no true victory.  To the extent that I am thinking about my sanctification, there is no real sanctification.  I must see it always as Jesus Christ's.

Francis Schaeffer, True Spirituality, pg. 85

Yes, yes. Until we are able to grasp that any good thing we do is a work already prepared for us by Christ, we will toot our own horn, even if it is a kazoo.
