Sounds just like Paul telling us that by the Law is the knowledge of sin. <br /><br />I'm grateful that others in the body (even if they are long dead) have the same experiences I do. When I overemphasize the rules, I lose track of Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-66140153248588232002011-05-03T09:41:26.545-07:002011-05-03T09:41:26.545-07:00Phil this is a very timely word.

It is obvious from writing like this that he wrote as a pastor dealing with real people and their problems. He always deals with them from a caring, biblical, sincere, realistic perspective. We need more pastors of his ilk.Andy McKinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367876733610363551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-71577484591043941892011-05-03T07:06:12.584-07:002011-05-03T07:06:12.584-07:00Romans 7:7-13; 8:1-2 Spurgeon agrees with Paul, a...Romans 7:7-13; 8:1-2 Spurgeon agrees with Paul, and so, of course, should we!Miltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077866845635921855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-75613771236715392352011-05-03T05:31:06.436-07:002011-05-03T05:31:06.436-07:00Marvelous encouraging words.

Praise the Lord that He has kept me from such dispair that I would despair of persevering. May He continue to strip away my tendency to be overly introspective and more and more continue to look to Christ alone in His perfect keeping of the Law and His perfect propitiation for my sins for my comfort and assurance.<br /><br />He has given the promise that He will do it. That He pardons our iniquities and clothes us in His righteousness. And He has promised to circumcise the heart of His particular people. He does not lie. And in asking for all the promises of Christ, the Father never once says "no", but "Yes" and "Amen."<br /><br />"Save me Lord, lest I die." "Yes."<br /><br />"Persevere me, Lord, that I may persevere to the end." "Yes."<br /><br />"Lord glorify Yourself in me and will me to do thy will!" "Amen."Sir Brasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893578064434019702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-50282451269947072011-05-02T16:35:51.957-07:002011-05-02T16:35:51.957-07:00Ditto Daryl above.Ditto Daryl above.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289347868497438542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-85602757084972513342011-05-02T13:59:23.714-07:002011-05-02T13:59:23.714-07:00Excellent.Excellent.Cindy Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090693362997103412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-81888156617750952332011-05-02T13:13:23.600-07:002011-05-02T13:13:23.600-07:00This is a good word.
