It’s almost a given that when evangelicals today talk about “experiencing God’s presence in worship” they’re referring to something they felt while singing. God’s presence has come to depend upon our praises rather than his promise in the objective means of grace. - Ps Adriel Sanchez

We praise & glorify you our Lord and owner; for we and all things are your own. We praise and glorify you our king and ruler, for we are your subjects, and our perfect obedience is your due.

As Reformation Day draws closer, for our weekly devotionals we will be keeping the spotlight on Martin Luther. Luther of course needs no introduction, he's the driving force of the Protestant Reformation and strongly pushed the doctrine of justification by faith alone. He was of course also well known for his 95 Theses and his refusal to recant his teachings which were at odds with the Catholic Church. While we may not necessarily agree with everything he wrote and said, we owe in no small part, a lot to him. 

As sojourners in a foreign land, it can be difficult to engage with hostile non-believers, or even self-professed believers who believe in some very "unique" teachings. Yet at the same time we are called to be humble and are reminded that the knowledge that we have is not by our own intellect or skill, but solely revealed to us by the Spirit.

Grant, Almighty God, that since we are by nature extremely prone to superstition, we may carefully consider what is the true and right way of serving you, such as you desire and approve, even that we offer ourselves spiritually to you, and seek no other altar but Christ

The below reflection emphasizes in particular the first 2 words "Our Father" in the Lords Prayer, and speaks to the closeness relational proximity that we now have as believers in Christ. We hope & pray that this reflection provides you both comfort & strength as believers today. 

“O Son of God, we believe these things touching you, according as you command us to believe, but yet notwithstanding, this is a very small spark of faith. We therefore humbly ask you, grant that by your help the same may become stronger and greater, and as the shining sun spreads the beams of his light over the face of the earth, so do you, the Son of righteousness, guide us with your light."

Most people are aware of Jane Austen through her writings such as Pride & Prejudice. For me personally I have never read her works or known much about her, which made it all the more surprising when I stumbled upon a prayer that she wrote based on Romans 2:5:

Let nothing be done through strife or conceit. Indulge no revengeful spirit in any case; but watch and pray against it; and, by all means in your power, seek the prosperity of this town. And never think you behave yourselves as becomes Christians, but when you sincerely, sensibly, and fervently love all men, of whatever party or opinion, and whether friendly or unkind, just or injurious, to you or your friends, or to the cause and kingdom of Christ.

What we need is help, --help powerful, efficient, constant: we need a very present help in trouble. What a mercy that we have it in our God. Our hope is in Jehovah, for our help comes from him.

We've previously released our design entitled "Resist Tyrants, Obey God". Since then we've received a sincere question from a brother in Christ who asked how this would reconcile with Romans 13, and was concerned that the design lacked context and could create misunderstanding and be unhelpful. Here's our response and thoughts on the issue.
