Deut. 12.13-24 Take care that you do not offer your burnt offerings atany place that you see, but at the place that the Lord will choose in
one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and
there you shall do all that I am commanding you. (more…)

Deut. 13.1-3 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams
arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,
and the sign or winder that he tells you comes to
pass, and if he says, "Let us go after other gods,
which you have not known, and let us serve them,"
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet
or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God
is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your
soul.

Walk in Wisdom / Gleanings from Scripture
Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
Adapted from Hart’s Hymns, No. 55 on Faith and Repentance.
Come dear Christians, sing the praises
Of your condescending God;
Come and hymn the holy Jesus
Who has washed us in His blood;
We are poor, weak and silly,
And to every evil prone;
Yet our Jesus loves us freely,
And receives us as His own.
Though we’re low in man’s opinion,
He has made us priests and kings,
Power, and glory, and dominion,
To the Lamb the sinner sings;
Leprous souls, unsound and filthy,
Come to Jesus in your sin:
Its the sick man, not the healthy
Needs His cleansing power within.
Hear the terms that never vary;
Come repent, and, come believe;
Both of these are necessary;
Both from Jesus we receive;
Would-be Christian! Rightly ponder
These in your impartial mind;
Let no man dare put asunder
What in wisdom Christ combined.
Please! Beware of wrongly thinking
God accepts you for your tears;
Are the shipwrecked saved by sinking?
Can the ruined rise by fears?
Hear! Beware of trust ungrounded,
Its imagined faith at best,
He cures no one but the wounded;
To the spent He gives His rest.
No big words from boastful talkers,
No dry doctrine will suffice:
Broken hearts, and humble walkers,
These are dear in Jesus’ eyes;
Tinkling sounds of disputation,
Naked knowledge, all are vain:
Every soul that gains salvation,
Must and shall be born again.

Walk in Wisdom – Gleanings from the Scriptures
From: Heb. 9.11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
In our current study in Romans, this past Sunday we were reminded that the Christian is one who remains “in his kindness” (verse 22). In other words, we find Christ our TOTAL sufficiency for salvation, and can add nothing more to His work.We depend utterly and completely upon His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
As I pondered that, Edward Mote’s famous words came to mind: “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness…”
It was then I felt a need to express the same thing but in the negative – i.e. that while our hope is indeed built on nothing LESS than Jesus’ blood and righteousness, so it is also based upon nothing MORE. He is our all sufficient Savior.
So it is I offer up to you the follow lyrics to be sung to the very same tune. I hope it serves to bless your soul.
