Written on the heart

I started the New Year by finishing John Frame's Salvation Belongs to the Lord .  After reading this book and listening to R. C. Sproul's talks on reformed theology last year,  I realize how little I know and how much I need to learn.  In one sense, I will never fully grasp all there is to know about God because He is so great.  But in another sense, He makes Himself known and desires that we know Him.   Lord willing, my goal is to read through the Bible this year using the Robert Murray M'Cheyne reading plan in conjunction with D. A. Carson's For the Love of God: A Daily Companion for Discovering the Riches of God's Word.   Dr. Carson has written daily reflections that aim to edify as well as build a whole biblical theology based on chapters from the M'Cheyne reading.   After too many years of reading my chapter a day for a quick edification fix, my prayer is to read and think .  At first I wasn't going to use a plan, but the plan will help...

All I Owe

All I Owe Words by Robert Murray McCheyne and Matthew Smith Music by Matthew Smith © 2002 detuned radio music (ASCAP) When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o'er life's finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe. All I owe you paid for me From all I owe I’ve been set free And all I owe proves your great mercy to me When I stand before your throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see you as you are Love you with unsinning heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe. All I owe you paid for me From all I owe I’ve been set free And all I owe proves your great mercy to me Chosen not for good in me, Wakened up from wrath to flee, Hidden in the Savior's side, By the Spirit sanctified, Teach me, Lord, on earth to show, By my love, how much I owe. All I owe you paid for me From all I owe I’ve been set free And all I owe proves your great mercy to me
