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: John Murray

DateSunday, February 27, 2011 at 07:32AM

[t]hrough whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, Romans 1:5

The Pauline concept of 'peace' cannot be understood except on the background of the alienation from God which sin has involved.  Hence 'peace' is the reconstituted favor with God based upon the reconciliation accomplished by Christ. . . It is only as we appreciate the implications of alienation from God and the reality of the wrath which alienation evinces that we can understand the richness of the biblical notion of peace. . .

John Murray, The Epistle to the Romans
