Anoint me, O Lord

Susannah Spurgeon's words always bring a brightness and joy to my morning. This is my prayer this morning. I pray it becomes yours as well.

"Anoint me for service, Lord, that, in all I do for you, either directly or indirectly, there may be manifested the power of the Holy Spirit, and the wholehearted earnestness which only He can supply!

Anoint me for sacrifice, so that contrary to my sinful nature, self may be overcome, and bound, and crucified, that Christ alone may reign in my mortal body!

Anoint me for suffering, if so it be your will, that I may praise you as I pass through the waters and the fires of affliction!

Anoint me for intercession, O my Father, that for others, as well as for myself, I may plead with you, and may prevail! This morning, Lord, pour your holy 'oil of joy' upon my head, and let the precious, fragrant unction of your grace drop down from hour to hour on the day's garments, till the skirts of night shall enfold both body and soul in the sweet spices of the sleep which you give to your beloved!"

What does the Average Church Goer believe Concerning Salvation?

R.C. Sproul has written a great article on today's situation within the context mostly of the church in America and how they think about Salvation. Mainly focusing in on the ideas of sin and man's ability or inability to chose God, and God's role in Slavation. I encourage you all to read through this article for it will grant you with a great understanding of the Biblical truths of Salvation and how God works in salvation, man's role in Salvation, and the true beauty of Christ and the cross! Search through the scriptures and allow them to dictate to you who God is and who we really are as humans.
