Today Walk…

Today, is a day that the Lord has prepared for you. He has blessed you with new life by waking you. Now, by the grace given to you by our glorious Creator in all humility and harmony walk with Him. In all things may your days journey reflect His glory, that, He receives all praise in how people today see you, they see Him.

I’m reading now this wonderful work written by Octavius Winslow, titled Morning and Evening thoughts. He wrote these words ” believer; a holy, filial, joyful liberty is your birthright. It is the liberty of a pardoned and justified sinner; of a reconciled , adopted child; of one for whom there is ” now no condemnation.” Yet how few of God’s people walk in the full enjoyment of this liberty! How few pray, and love, and confide, as adopted children!

Oh sons of God, rise to this your high and heavenly calling! Your freedom was purchased at a high price-undervalue it not. It is most holy- abuse it not. It binds you by the strongest obligations to yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead. Be these the breathings of our soul: “Lord! My sweetest privilege is obedience to you; my highest freedom wearing Your yoke- my greatest rest bearing your burden. Oh, how love I Your law after the inward man! I delight to do Your will, oh my God!”

Love words can’t describe

How do we love thee Creator of the heavens and earth. We do not see thee with our natural eye yet you are there.

As we seek thee you make Yourself known to us that we may find thee. How do we love thee we love thee from within, our spirit is quickened by thee as we glorify thy name.

You are Most Holy and all love. You have cared for us before we have cared for ourselves, Father I thank thee for who you are, Father I love thee more than mere words can describe.

Readers Roost

Welcome to the first edition of Readers Roost. This is the installment post of what will be a monthly reccomended reading. I’d like to start off with my top 10 books that I hope would inspire you as much as they’ve inspired me.

To start off let me introduce  The Decline of African American Theology: From Biblical Faith to Cultural Captivity written by Thabiti Anyabwile. It is a historical timeline of African American theological experience.

Secondly, Twelve Ordinary Men  written by John MacArthur. People like you and me chosen to follow the Saviour Jesus Christ. Why not learned men? This is a quick read and very exciting too. If you want to form a study group I’d also reccomend the study guide that goes along with it.

The Pursuit of God written by A W Tozer, has become one of my personal favorites that I know you’ll enjoy.

Jesus: The Greatest Life of All Chuck Swindol is a masterful expositor and writter. This is the 9th in his “Greatest Lives series” once you read this you’ll most likely want to go back and get the others to complete the set.

The Truth War: Fighting for Certainty in an Age of Deception  John MacArthurs call for Christians to stand up for truth, a fight against those that hold an apostate theology and subtly bring it into our churchs.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Confessions by St Augustine

Culture Shift by Albert Mohler Jr

How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind: Rediscovering the African Seedbed of Western Christianity  by Thomas C. Oden

Dethroning Jesus: Exposing Popular Culture’s Quest to Unseat the Biblical Christ by Darrell L. Bock and Daniel B. Wallace

Reinventing Jesus by J. Ed Komoszewski, M. James Sawyer, and Daniel B. Wallace
