Help Me, Lord!

In desperation, the father says to Jesus, “If you can do anything…” He just doesn’t know if Jesus can. Jesus gently rebukes him, basically answering his question with, “I can. But do you believe?” The father then replies with one of the most heart wrenching statements in the book of Mark: “I believe! Help my unbelief!” This, tragically, summarizes the Christian life.

Alas, O Lord!

To the Lord our God belongs compassion and forgiveness
Yet we have rebelled against Him
To the Lord our God belongs perfection and holiness
Yet we have not obeyed His voice
To the Lord our God belongs justice and truth
Yet we have rejected His teachings which He set before us

Weekly Roundup: Suffering and Lament

The deepest pains of the human heart are not healed with a trite truth or by quoting a Bible verse. Indeed, the first response of the faithful often ought to be lament: a raw, crying out to God of faith that ultimately rests in Him. This week’s articles are all about lament: what it is, it’s importance, and how to do so. May you be freed to cry out to God as His beloved child.

Bible Study During a Revival

I was the first to leave, sometime between 12:30 and 1:00 A.M., as I still had some preparation to do for my class at 8:00 A.M. the next morning. The pastor assured me that this was a fairly normal Wednesday evening."

To Neglect To Pray

To neglect to pray is to neglect to breathe. To neglect to pray for His glory is to extinguish the fire in my soul. To neglect to pray for God’s favor and grace upon the day is to rely on my own wisdom and strength apart from Him. To neglect to pray for His people in my church is to ignore the saints He has given me to love. To neglect to pray that He would send His people into the plentiful harvest is to scorn His glorious name. To neglect to pray for God to save sinners is to surrender my yet-to-be-saved brothers and sisters to hell. To neglect to pray is to sin.
