33 days ago the Lord led me to this website ! When I first arrived I was thinking that it was bogus and it wasn’t going to work! You see, for all of my life I’ve struggled with looking to food for pleasure. It’s been a long standing joke that […]
The Lord is so kind! He’s been actively working in my heart from so many directions. The main point I want to blog about is this. From Dave Harvey’s series “The Surgeon, The Scalpel and the Saint in Sin” which focuses in on self-righteousness he says that I should be “ruthless when […]
Josh Harris: A Year of Grace at Covenant Life Church
Each December, my family tries to sit down and recap the year that is almost gone. We list the big and little events that defined the year. It’s a chance to reflect on answered prayers and give thanks for God’s goodness. This month, I did the […]
This is from my Senior Pastor’s blog. I just had to share what our children are learning in Children’s Ministry…and, yes, I too thought it strange that they were studying about Elijah the Sunday before Christmas!
Josh Harris: Elijah, Baal…Merry Christmas!
I just learned that this past Sunday the lesson plan for the children’s ministry had them […]
While I was spending time worshiping the Lord as we approached Texas I was thinking about my childhood. I’ve oftentimes shared with people about how I remember praying and wanting to go to church even when I was a little child. This always amazes me to think of how the Lord was drawing me to […]
As I type my Nana is in Columbia Medical Center of Plano, TX awaiting brain surgery. In fact she could be in surgery right now. A few months ago she started having leg seizures and they discovered a meningioma benign brain tumor. They decided to do stereotactic radiosurgery first to try to […]
Well, today is the day we welcome our new arrow into our quiver. We go in at 1 to begin the caesarean at 2. If all goes smoothly little Brianna Joy should be with us sometime before 3pm.
We had a special time last night of Jeremy leading the children in encouraging me and […]
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Carolyn McCulley, this is from her blog. She’s a single lady at our church who also works for Sovereign Grace Ministries. She’s one of the people we met on our exploratory trip to CLC in June of ‘03. You will always be freshly inspired by her […]
“Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet will I rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God […]
The mystery of the cross
I cannot comprehend
The agonies of Calvary
You the perfect Holy One
Crushed Your Son
Drank the bitter cup
Reserved for me
Chorus
Your blood has washed away my sin
Jesus, Thank You
The Father’s wrath
Completely satisfied
Jesus, Thank You
Once Your enemy
Now seated at Your table
Jesus, Thank You
By Your perfect sacrifice
I’ve been brought near
Your enemy You’ve made Your friend
Pouring out […]
This weeks Gospel-centered Hymn:
How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed […]
