Anguish

There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People’s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures

This is an emergency!

There are tears from the saints
For the lost and unsaved
We’re crying for them come back home
We’re crying for them come back home
And all your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred
Even churches have forsaken
Love and mercy
May we see this generation
In it’s state of desperation
For Your glory

This is an emergency!

Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!
Sinner, reach out your hands!
Children in Christ you stand!

And all Your children will stretch out their hands
And pick up the crippled man
Father, we will lead them home
Father, we will lead them home

Malachi 1:11

Isaiah 29:13; Daniel 11:32

The comfort of Perseverance

I've studied the doctrine of perseverance lately and have discovered a deeper understanding of God and my faith. This discovery really translates into a worshipful comfort that overcomes me when I reflect on the sovereignty of God in perseverance. Here are a few videos that give a good overview and explination of these concepts (classroom setting) from Michael Patton at bible.org. I found them to be very helpful and honest.

Video 1 - Can a believer lose their salvation?
Video 2 - A defense of conditional security.
Video 3 - A defense of eternal security.
