O For A Heart To Praise My God (A New Favorite)

O for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free,

A heart that always feels Thy blood

So freely shed for me.

A heart resigned, submissive, meek,

My great Redeemer’s throne,

Where only Christ is heard to speak,

Where Jesus reigns alone.

A humble, lowly, contrite, heart,

Believing, true and clean,

Which neither life nor death can part

From Christ who dwells within.

A heart in every thought renewed

And full of love divine,

Perfect and right and pure and good,

A copy, Lord, of Thine.

Thy tender heart is still the same,

And melts at human woe:

Jesus, for thee distressed I am,

I want Thy love to know.

My heart, Thou know’st, can never rest

Till Thou create my peace;

Till of mine Eden repossest,

From self, and sin, I cease.

Fruit of Thy gracious lips, on me

Bestow that peace unknown,

The hidden manna, and the tree

Of life, and the white stone.

Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart;

Come quickly from above;

Write Thy new name upon my heart,

Thy new, best name of Love.

Movie Night with My Girls!

 We are watching an old favorite tonight. (for those who aren't dyslexic) The Sound of Music! :D

 It been a while since we have seen it we're excited!

 Maddie I think is a little....uh.... too excited... o_O

9/11 It seems like people are not remembering this day....here are a few reminders.

The Victims of that day.

MAY WE NEVER FORGET!

God be thanked, that ye "were" the servants of sin!

Romans 6 (KJV)

 ¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
 ²God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
 ³Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
 ⁴Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
 ⁵For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
 ⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
 ⁷For he that is dead is freed from sin.
 ⁸Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
 ⁹Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
 ¹⁰For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
 ¹¹Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 ¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
 ¹³Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
 ¹⁴For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
 ¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
 ¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
 ¹⁷But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
 ¹⁸Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
 ¹⁹I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
 ²⁰For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
 ²¹What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
 ²²But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
 ²³For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now Available - The Baby Conference on CD and MP3!

Now Available — The Baby Conference on CD and MP3!

When tragedy strikes in the delivery room, and the doctor says you must choose which life to save, whose life is more important - the mother’s or the baby’s?

When your aged parents are terminally ill and in constant pain, and they want to go home to be with the Lord, which act is more loving — to take away their food and water and let them die “naturally,” or to continue feeding them and thereby prolong their suffering?

There are 500,000 babies living as frozen, unwanted embryos in clinics across the United States. Eventually their cells will break down and they will die. Should Christian couples adopt these embryos and implant them into the wives’ wombs? Or is that a form of “medical adultery?”

What does the Bible say about birth control? Is use of the Pill lawful or unlawful according to Scripture? How can we end legalized abortion in America? And what are Christians’ responsibilities to defend life in view of the looming healthcare crisis?

These questions offer just a taste of the critical life-and-death issues covered at The Baby Conference last week, which featured such speakers as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Doug and Beall Phillips, Geoff and Victoria Botkin, Flip Benham, Kevin Swanson and Jennie Chancey. For three exciting, hope-filled days, hearts were encouraged, vision was renewed, and families were equipped to defend the beauty of life in a culture of death.

Now your family can hear these messages at home! Purchase The Baby Conference on CD, and enjoy more than 38 hours of messages addressing the most critical biomedical ethical and life issues of our day, as well as practical insights into home life and family management. Or, purchase The Baby Conference on MP3 and listen to these same messages on your computer or any MP3 player.
