    Great Hymn Lyrics

    All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name Edward Perronet and Oliver Holden 1 All hail the power of Jesus’ Name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all, Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all. 2 Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God, Who from His altar call; Extol the Stem of Jesse’s Rod, And crown Him Lord of all, Extol the Stem of Jesse’s Rod, And crown Him Lord of all. 3 Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all, Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all. 4 Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget, The wormwood and the gall, Go spread your trophies at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all, Go spread your trophies at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all. 5 Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all. 6 O that with yonder sacred throng, We at His feet may fall, We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all. We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all!
  4. If you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation - believing He paid the complete penalty for your sins when He shed His blood and died on the cross for you, and you have received His free gift of salvation by faith alone - then He has promised never to leave you or forsake you. There are MANY passages that state this principle. I am sorry you are struggling, but we are to walk by faith, not by sight or feelings. Get in the Bible, find those promises that fit your life, claim them and cling to them by faith. Don't let feelings dictate to your faith and affect your spiritual walk negatively. That will only get you into trouble. Isaiah 50:10-11 Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. Trust in the Lord, even in the darkness - see how other Bible writers dealt with struggles like this, especially in the Psalms. Follow the end of their faith, their example. Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. The Holy Spirit is for you and is interceding for You: Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. God the Father is for you. He met your greatest need - spiritual life and forgiveness, reconciliation with Him. He will not abandon you now: Romans 8:31-32 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? The Lord Jesus Christ is for you and is interceding for you too: Romans 8:33-34 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Nothing in all this world, in all creation, in all eternity, can separate your from Him or His love: Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Psalm 40:17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
  5. As far as the ratings and content of this movie goes, it seems decent with no objectionable content. If you showed it at a youth event of some kind, make sure it is not the only or major focus. BUT if it is bothering your conscience and you have no peace after prayer about it, do NOT do it. We are to make sure our mind is filled with the Word of God and that effects our concience too - so we should never be doing things that cause us concern and goes against our conscience. The Bible warns about have a seared conscience, a weak one, a good one, a pure conscience, a defiled conscience. Our conscience is part of God's guidance system for our lives and we get in trouble if we disregard its warnings - regardless of what others say. That is basically the idea of Romans 14. If others think something is ok and your conscience troubles you about it, then heed it and don't do it. There are many other activities you can do instead.
  6. Hello everyone. I apologize that I haven't been around for awhile, but I am reaching out because I have a question about movies like "Courageous". One of our youth leaders wants to play this movie and I feel that as Christians, we should avoid this type movie. There is a good message about fathers being a strong role model and the leader of the family, but there is some violent crime scenarios which include police chases, auto thefts with babies in the back seat etc, and I feel that as the elder of the church, we would be using our time at youth group reading and discussing from God's Precious Word. There is very little mentioned about the church and the Bible. Although the makers of this movie call themselves Baptist ( that use the NASB may I add), I still am feeling a pull from God not to be a part of it and maybe speak out about. If the parents of these youth chose to watch this movie at home with them, so be it, but I believe we could use the time more wisely by feeding on God's Word. What do you think?
  7. I have tried not to think of God's absence I can't stand it. I have tried to deepen myself in his world but quite often I can't hold but feeling lonely, abandoned and rejected
  8. Do you really believe God has forsaken you? I mean, really...You sound nothing like Christians that I have known in deep trials and tribulations, including several who were in prison in the USSR, and even in the death camps in Germany. The Bible tells us that God will NEVER leave us or forsake us if we're truly saved.
  9. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. I feel despised and rejected, abused and slandered, misunderstood and forgotten. I have been wondering why God seems to be doing nothing to protect and defend me. Does Jesus knows what i feel?

    Great Hymn Lyrics

    O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Latin chant Veni Emmanuel Translator J. M. Neale 1 O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. CHORUS Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. 2 O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, Who orderest all things mightily; To us the path of knowledge show, And teach us in her ways to go. CHORUS 3 O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan’s tyranny; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them victory over the grave. CHORUS 4 O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death’s dark shadows put to flight. CHORUS 5 O come, Thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heavenly home; Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery. CHORUS 6 O come, O come, great Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height In ancient times once gave the law In cloud and majesty and awe. CHORUS 7 O come, Thou Root of Jesse’s tree, An ensign of Thy people be; Before Thee rulers silent fall; All peoples on Thy mercy call. CHORUS 8 O come, Desire of nations, bind in one the hearts of all mankind; bid thou our sad divisions cease, and be thyself our King of Peace. CHORUS

  12. The devil hates and wants to destroy the family. Feminism, Femininization of men, masculinization of women, domination by women, open disrespect and vilification of men by society, abuse of women and children, our education system, government and our judicial system are all part of the many ploys and avenues the devil uses to destroy the family. Destroying God's order at the very basic level, in the home, I think is the most devastating. But he even works in churches; not just by the teaching of the wrong things, but failing to teach some of the right things. (1 Peter 4:17)
  13. No sir, they are also responsible to government. An unborn child has the God-given right to life. (remember our little post about "rights"?) An who did God make the protector of that right? And the punisher of evildoers? Romans 13: 3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
  14. Yes, I agree it is murder, now you need to convince the liberals, if you want their votes. This is what the new conservative leaders are facing, if they want to win.

    Great Hymn Lyrics

    At Calvary William R. Newell and Daniel B. Towner 1 Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary. CHORUS Mercy there was great, and grace was free; Pardon there was multiplied to me; There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary. 2 By God's Word at last my sin I learned; Then I trembled at the law Id spurned, Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary. CHORUS 3 Now I've given to Jesus everything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary! CHORUS 4 Oh, the love that drew salvations plan! Oh, the grace that brought it down to man! Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary! CHORUS
  16. How many times have you heard, "You can't legislate morality"? Better take off from the books murder, theft, bigamy, and anything else considered morality, and don't take the bible as truth. Who is God, that thinks He can write laws? It's murder.
  17. If she was teaching a class to other women and/children (or teens), that is okay - but not if she was teaching a class with men in it. This is referring to a political leader specifically, but when women and children lead a country, it is a sign of judgement of God on that nation. Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
  18. Still...the verse posted to you was clear....Women aren't evil, and their intentions may have been good...still, it says that women should not be teaching in a mixed group. Sorry...don't compare their actions with the actions of Christ and his work on the Sabbath. You're truly lacking in your exegesis.
  19. Biden probably won't make it either, we might be stuck with his vise president. But selling Bibles to help win an election, we have never seen that. We can not be blinded to attempt to do good. I voted for Trump 3 times already starting from his first primary. Now, I m not sure or confident he is the right man. The abortion issue is important, but one man or woman can win the president for a short time for any changes. The woman who has it, an abortion, will be between her husband and herself. They will have to respond to the Lord. It's time to approach the sinners with hope.
  20. Those evil women BT, you can’t live with them and without them. Remember she was not preaching. Can she evangelize like the woman that met Jesus, at the well? Can she do good on the Sabbath?

    Great Hymn Lyrics

    When I Survey The Wondrous Cross Isaac Watts 1 When I survey the wond'rous Cross On which the Prince of Glory dy'd, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did ever such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then am I dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. 5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
  22. "Patriotic, prayerful and rightwing Americans are being offered the chance to purchase – for a mere $59.99 – a Bible endorsed by Donald Trump, in the latest example of the former US president touting wares to the American public." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/26/trump-selling-bible While "President Joe Biden has never hidden the fact that his Catholic roots can make it difficult to be a politician in favor of abortion rights. In fact, he still rarely uses the word “abortion” at all. But as the 2024 election comes into focus, Biden is poised to run the most overtly abortion rights platform of any general election candidate in political history (SGO) as he and his team navigate the first presidential cycle in the post-Roe era." https://www.politico.com/news/2023/06/22/biden-abortion-2024-campaign-reelection-00103158 How many human beings will have to die in order for Christians to get their priorities straight? The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. Isaiah 49:1
  23. I believe Trump is the last conservative president, American will have. Others that come after him, are very moderated and open to non Christians lifestyle and faith. I heard Trump is selling American Bibles now, this is not a good sign.
  24. Last week
  25. I might be sinnng listening to her teach a class. But I’m forgiven.
  26. The Bible does correct/rebuke this type behavior in several places. It's too many modern-day pastors who seem to have trouble following suit.
  27. Who was president when abortion was put down by the Supreme Court? https://19thnews.org/2024/01/trump-abortion-restrictions/ Which major candidate will even listen, beyond paying ear service, to a pro-life person? Does the sin so prevalent in our own lives make abortion a minor issue? Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee... Jeremiah 1:5

    Great Hymn Lyrics

    Jesus Paid It All Elvina M. Hall 1 I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.” Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. 2 Lord, now indeed I find Thy power and Thine alone, Can change the leper’s spots And melt the heart of stone. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. 3 For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim, I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. 4 And now complete in Him My robe His righteousness, I’ll rejoice with all my might, I am now divinely blest. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. 5 And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, “Jesus died my soul to save,” My lips shall still repeat. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.
