One of the most precious songs to the Reformed Praise writers, this hymn, based on Psalm 130, was penned by Martin Luther himself. Luther was a Monk in the Roman church who diligently sought peace with God through his holy life. As he studied the Bible, he became confronted with the doctrine of justification and imputed righteousness and understood and accepted the gospel of salvation through faith in Christ alone, apart from the works of the Law. ... ... ... Out of the depths I cry to You, ... Lord, hear my voice of pleading; ... Bend down Your gracious ear, I pray, ... Your humble servant heeding. ... If Y ...

You are right in that the word ”Trinity” is not in the Bible, however, the Trinity is in the Bible. By that I mean that the one God is revealed as three persons all over it. For example, Jesus, God the Son, prayed to God the Father. He did not pray to Himself. Jesus, God the Son, left this earth and sent God the Holy Spirit to the earth after He left. I don’t have time to get into it either, but there are numerous verses that bring out the three persons of God. Hope this helps. Do you have verses to support your view? [End]

The Christian life is not trying to become like Jesus in order to gain a relationship with God; it’s trusting that when he DE CLAREd ”It is finished”, his work for my salvation was completed. And now, by faith, we trust in the work of the Spirit in our lives to make us like Jesus. It’s all of grace, from beginning to end. Too many of us were wrongly taught that bei ...

A Prayer for Expressing an Intense Longing for Justice ... ... Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless. Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, “He won’t call me to account”? But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. Ps. 10:12-14 ... ... Holy Father, there are times when it’s good to get fed up and hacked off; to get red in the face and fire in the pants; to get angry with a holy rage. Looking into the eyes of help ...
