The Promises of God
“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners — of whom I am the worst.” ~ 1 Timothy 1:15 (NIV) ~
AMAZING GRACE John Fischer began his ministry in music, but in recent years his focus has been on teaching. (John’s the one who wrote, “Love him in the morning when you see the sun arising ...”) Here’s an edited excerpt from one of his blog posts from 2012. Every believer should be absolutely convinced of being the worst sinner on the face of the earth. And if this is not the case, if there is any inkling of a thought that somebody out there might be worse than I am, then there is reason to believe that I have not yet done adequate business with God about my own sin.
Hebrews 8:8-12

“White As Snow”
THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO RECEIVE CURRENT INFORMATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.
The great hymn writers thought this way. Their salvation continually amazed them. Our hymnals portray their amazement. Consider lines like, “Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me!” No, this is not merely “die for me,” as in a theological doctrine — this is “die for me” — as in wonder that out of all the people in the world — he would have included me, (in this case, Charles Wesley) the worst of the lot.
Offerings and Connection Cards will be collected in the Offering Boxes located just inside the two main entrances into our Worship Center, as well as in the Office Hallway.
Phillip Bliss, another hymn writer, makes it even clearer when he concludes that “Jesus loves even me.” There’s a wealth of meaning in that one word “even.” Even me, the lowest, the least deserving, the worst. Or as Charles Wesley wrote, “‘Tis mercy all, immense and free, for, O my God, it found out me!” His implication is, “God’s mercy had to look really hard because I was a long way off!”
