Do Not Disavow By: Rick Davis   When Charlemagne established law Salic in barb’rous land, The gospel flourished, and he saw Christ’s praise on every hand.   (“Do you approve his methods now?”) I do not disavow.   King Godfrey took Jerusalem From bloody paynim hands And brought a halt to Musselmen Invading Christian lands.   (“He did some mean things anyhow!”) I do not disavow.   King Richard with his scarlet shield And passant lions ‘bossed Rode forth again unto the field To regain what was lost.   (“His deeds at Acre you allow?”) I do not disavow.   Unto the Germans Luther brought The gospel full restored, And Calvin at Geneva taught The glory of the Lord.   (“The Jews?

God is Faithful

Posted By

It was God’s will that all the fulness of His blessings should be found only in Christ. It is in Christ that you have received grace. And it is in Christ that you are sustained. It’s so important for us to be reminded of this truth again and again, because we know that in ourselves we have nothing to commend us to God. In ourselves, we are weak, in our own power we stumble, in our praise we fall short, and in our faith we waver. But in our Lord Jesus Christ, we are not lacking in any gift.

Christians, God the Father called you into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ, He has worked faith in your heart, and He has given you the Holy Spirit to unite you to Christ and to seal you with the promise of the final resurrection and of your ultimate vindication. Your continued perseverance does not depend on anything found in you. So when you find yourself sinning and repenting again and again, remember that God is the one who is faithful to His promises, and He is the one who will preserve you to the end.
