Big, if true

[C.S. Edds @CodyEdds]

What if God isn’t stingy with grace, and He really doesn’t crush a bruised reed?

[Jeffrey Perry® @JeffreyPerry09]

Augustus Toplady first published the opening stanza in 1775 in an article called “Life a Journey.” The paragraph immediately before the hymn told the believer that even when he falls, he should not despair, but look again to “the blood of the covenant.”

The complete hymn appeared a year later in the Gospel Magazine as “A Living and Dying Prayer for the Holiest Believer in the World.”

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Toplady is not teaching the Christian to hide in his repentance or his ability to live rightly after conversion. He is teaching him to hide in the wounds of Christ.

That is why the next lines are so important:

Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Save from wrath and make me pure.

The hymn gives us a whole gospel by declaring that Christ does not merely rescue us from guilt while leaving us under wrath, and He does not merely call us to holiness while leaving us to answer for our guilt. He saves from wrath and makes pure.

Justification and sanctification both come from union with the crucified Christ.

The absence of a visible sufficiency in a minister is precisely where divine sufficiency shows itself.

[Jeffrey Perry® @JeffreyPerry09]

@PastorRyanA @philipnation @Crh614 @Lemienior @SamRainer Grateful for you as well!

[Jeffrey Perry® @JeffreyPerry09]

@PastorRyanA My argument is that teaching explains, and preaching proclaims.

When the gospel is not enough, a pastor will always start preaching himself.

The work of the ministry is to try to teach old dogs new tricks and to make old rogues pious, and that largely in vain.

You cannot pump out the darkness; but if you fill the house with light the darkness will vanish of itself. Preach Christ, and away goes the god of this world. Exalt Christ, and down goes the devil.

CH Spurgeon

[Jeffrey Perry® @JeffreyPerry09]

Herein is the justification for the sin-prone pastor: because of Christ’s perfect work on your behalf, your failure, your daily anxiety, your unwillingness, your stress, your sin, your brokenness, your ineptitude, your ignorance, your awfulness, your regrets, your pride, and your arrogance are no match for the deep and abiding grace of God given to you before time began and now and forevermore.

[Brian Onstead @brianonstead]

Sanctification is empowered by the gospel and directed by his law.

[Jeremiah Hurt @jeremiahhurt]

When the “milk” and “meat” texts are read in their contexts, they do not teach that the gospel is basic or for beginners, while advanced Christians need less Christ and more application. They teach the exact opposite. —@JeffreyPerry09 https://t.co/NAGoCHzjqq

The Marrow is only dangerous if your theology depends on keeping people nervous so that they obey.
