A reflection on today’s Bible Study on 1 Thessalonians 1:5-7. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And ye became followers of us, and of […]

These reflections are specific to the sermons and classes that I attend at Gethsemane Bible-Presbyterian Church. They may or may not be directly related to the topic preached.
Some thoughts on today’s Bible Study. *** O, godliness with contentment is great gain. Without the good Lord, all life is but in vain. So while we shall live, whatever God shall give, Let us never grumble, but shall content be. While living on earth, covet not men’s applause, But strive with sincerity to serve […]
They would the Lord yet show another sign With prideful claims that they would soon believe. Though pious outwardly, their hearts are dark, So darkened, blinded by their unbelief. Some, motivated by their carnal lusts, Now come to seek great wonders and great signs. Though they yield not their lives to holiness, They now demand […]

Thank God for the message during the Bible Study, in which we are exhorted to form our friendships in love and truth, for the truth’s sake. May we do all things according to love and truth, and no other way. Even a pen that should write, or a song that should be sung, should be […]
The LORD’s chastising hand, so full of love, doth guide the erring Christian back to Him. Though oft severe the chast’ning is to us, yet tis’ God’s love to keep us far from sin. Though He chastises sore from high above to lead the Christian far away from sin, yet God has not giv’n him o’er […]
Thank God for blessed assurance, after a week of fighting with temptations, doubts, and trials, that He is my Father, my Shepherd, and His love towards me, as last Sunday’s message showed me, is a love that will never let me go. To this I praise Him for how He has assured me, even with […]
O, joy unspeakable! O, did the LORD my God know me, e’en ‘fore the heav’n and earth began, He chose and loved me so? The raging sin within should only bring God’s wrath on me, but solely for His glory’s sake He chose to save me so! O, joy unspeakable! O did the LORD my […]
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. – Psalm 131:2 In troubles sore, my soul, a helpless child, cries bitterly, in midst of tempests wild. Much doubt and fear had filled my weary heart amidst the storms which […]
