Psalm 37:1-11 "Do not get upset because of evildoers, do not be envious of wrongdoers.For they will wither quickly like the grass, and decay like the green plants.Trust in the Lord and do good; live in the land and cultivate faithfulness.Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.Commit …
Few writers have grasped and explained the New Covenant life we have in Christ as has A.B. Simpson. This long section from the book, "Wholly Sanctified," is one of the clearest explanations of how we are to live in Christ and how He wants to live in us so that we might become wholly sanctified. …
Oswald Chambers was and is still today one of the great influencers who fully understood the New Covenant life we have in Christ, that it is nothing of our own lives and fully His life lived in us.

I keep a "Prayer and Praise" book of my own making, a collection of hymns, scripture prayers and psalms, specific requests and people for which I pray. I update it from time to time, including adding new items, new scriptures to pray, and new songs and hymns. The focus of the booklet is to guide …
