  • We Praise Thee, We Bless Thee

    We praise Thee, we bless Thee, our Saviour Divine, All pow’r and dominion for ever be Thine! We sing of Thy mercy with joyful acclaim, For Thou hast redeemed us: all praise to Thy name! For Thou hast redeemed us: all praise to Thy name! All honor and praise to…

  • Six Short Rules for Young Christians

    Never neglect daily private prayer; and when you pray, remember that God is present, and that He hears your prayers (Heb. 11:6). Never neglect daily private Bible reading; and when you read remember that God is speaking to you, and that you are to believe and act upon what He…

  • I Was a Wandering Sheep

    I was a wandering sheep, I did not love the fold; I did not love my Shepherd’s voice, I would not be controlled. I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Father’s voice, I loved afar to roam. The Shepherd sought His…

  • When This Passing World is Done

    When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon radiant sun, When I stand with Christ on high, Looking o’er life’s history, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe. When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I…

  • Today is Reformation Day

    On this day in 1517 a German monk named Martin Luther nailed the following on the door of the castle church in Wittenburg: Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the…

  • Reformation Sunday

    …is tomorrow!

  • Let Us Love

    This coming Sunday we’ll sing this hymn by John Newton, to this tune. Let us love, and sing, and wonder, Let us praise the Saviour’s name! He has hushed the Law’s loud thunder, He has quenched Mt. Sinai’s flame; He has washed us in His blood, He has brought us…

  • What Think Ye of Christ?

    This is one of my favorite hymns in our hymnal– “What think ye of Christ?” is the test To try both your state and your scheme; You cannot be right in the rest Unless you think rightly of Him. As Jesus appears in your view— As He is beloved or…

  • The Necessity of Widely Spreading the Word

    Here’s a great quote from Daniel Webster (1782-1852)– If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are…

  • The Perfect Righteousness of God

    We have been learning this hymn the past several weeks at Orwell Bible Church— The perfect righteousness of God Is witnessed in the Saviour’s blood; ‘Tis in the cross of Christ we trace His righteousness, yet wondrous grace. God could not pass the sinner by, His sin demands that he…

  • Eternity

    I had opportunity to talk with an unbelieving man this evening. When confronted with eternity in heaven or hell, he said, “Well, that’s the chance I’ll have to take.” Our conversation reminded me of this hymn from our hymnal— Where will you spend eternity?This question comes to you and me;Tell…

  • We Want You Over There

    We’re going home to glory soon, To see the city bright; To walk the golden streets of heav’n And bask in God’s own light; But some of you are out of Christ And held by many a snare; We cannot leave you lost and lone, We want you over there.…

  • The Duty of Prayer

    Of all the list of Christian duties there is none to which there is such abounding encouragement as prayer. It is a duty which concerns all. High and low, rich and poor, learned and unlearned—all must pray. It is a duty for which all are accountable. All cannot read, or…

  • A New Translation of Luke 15

    This is hilarious– Feeling Footloose and Frisky, a Feather-brained Fellow Forced His Fond Father to Fork over the Farthings, and Flew Far to Foreign Fields where he Frittered his Fortune Feasting Fabulously with Faithless Friends. Fleeced by his Fellows in Folly, and Facing Famine, he Found himself a Feed-Flinger in…

  • Of the Father’s Love Begotten

    We sang this hymn–which has quite the history–this past Sunday morning to the tune for “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah”– Of the Father’s love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega; He the source, the ending he, Of the things that are, that have…

  • Defining “Acrostic”

    Each week this year I’ve put together a “devotional” or Bible reading guide for Orwell Bible Church. We cover 11 chapters a week, which works out to reading two chapters Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and one chapter the other days of the week. (Each day I post each chapter…

  • Lord, Bring Revival!

    LORD, bring revival to my heart. Come down with quick’ning power. LORD, give to me the strength I need To carry on this very hour. My heart is faint, my flesh is weak. Come LORD Jesus. Send Thy Spirit. LORD, restore the joy of Thy salvation unto me. LORD, bring…

  • The Forgiveness of Sins – Psalm 32

    How blest is he whose trespass Has freely been forgiv’n, Whose sin is wholly covered Before the sight of heav’n. Blest he to whom Jehovah Will not impute his sin. Who has a guileless spirit, Whose heart is true within. While I kept guilty silence My strength was spent with…

  • If God Had Not Been On Our Side

    This tune will work for this hymn. If God had not been on our side And had not come to aid us, The foes with all their power and pride Would surely have dismayed us; For we, His flock, would have to fear The threat of men both far and…
