All of a sudden I was trapped! Caught between the bitter realities of a nation that is desperately in need of a visitation of God and the very limited resources that appear at my disposal. Yet my entrapment is also of a glorious kind for it throws me upon the unsearchable riches of His grace. I must run to the refuge of an utter dependency on God and His Spirit to move in salvation and miracles in this land.

Having read some recent comments online on why certain individuals says “there are no prophets today” got me a thinkin’. Well why pick on the prophet, why not say there are no pastors, no teachers, no apostles and no evangelists. For Paul says that Christ gave these ministry gifts to the church (Eph 4:11). Those who say such things rarely produce a Scripture to prove otherwise.

Art Katz (1929-2007) on the emptiness of secular optimism…
Optimism is a form of humanism that is not predicated on reality. It is a wishful thinking that has at its heart an egoistic self-validation of ourselves that says our unaided humanity is essentially good.

A. W. Pink (1886-1952) on the utter weakness of man…
“It is of the utmost importance that people should clearly understand and be made thoroughly aware of their spiritual impotence, for thus alone is a foundation laid for bringing them to see and feel their imperative need of divine grace for salvation.
So long as sinners think they have it in their own power to deliver themselves from their death in trespasses and sins, they will never come to Christ that they might have life, for “the whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.”

George Whitfield on swearing…
Among the many heinous sins for which this nation is grown infamous, perhaps there is no one more crying, but withal more common, than the abominable custom of profane swearing and cursing.
Our streets abound with persons of all degrees and qualities, who are continually provoking the holy one of Israel to anger, by their detestable oaths and blasphemies: and our very children, “out of whose mouths,” the psalmist observes in his days, “was perfected praise,” are now grown remarkable for the quite opposite ill quality of cursing and swearing.
