Sunday's Hymn: Great God of Wonders! All Thy Ways

Great God of wonders! all thy ways
Are worthy of thyself divine;
And the bright glories of thy grace
Among thine other wonders shine:

     Who is a pardoning God like thee?
     Or who has grace so rich and free?

Pardon from an offended God!
Pardon for sins of deepest dye!
Pardon bestowed through Jesus’ blood!
Pardon that brings the rebel nigh!

O may this glorious, matchless love,
This God-like miracle of grace,
Teach mortal tongues, like those above,
To raise this song of lofty praise:

—Samuel Davies

Imputation

No Blank Slate Christianity
The imputation of Christ’s righteousness to the believer is the other half of the gospel—the half we sometimes overlook. Discover a few of the many blessings of imputation in this piece from Jared Wilson.

Proper Address

Should We Call Him Jesus?
“What do you call the Son of God when you refer to him? Different church traditions answer that question in different ways: if I know that a church or individual usually refers to him as ‘Christ’ or ‘the Lord,’ I know certain things about them that would not be true if they called him ‘Jesus,’ and vice versa.” 

Does it matter what we call him? What is the pattern of Scripture?

Canadian Living

Family of 5 Sharing 800-Square-Foot Barn House
Did you know Apartment Therapy house tours are one of my guilty pleasures? I like the tours of homes that look like ordinary people live there, like this tour of a small barn-style house in Labrador. A family with three kids and three huskies lives in this little gem.

Sunday's Hymn: Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven,
To his feet thy tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who like me, his praise should sing?
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Praise the everlasting King.

Praise him for his grace and favor
To our fathers in distress;
Praise him still the same for ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless;
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Glorious in his faithfulness.

Father-like, he tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame he knows;
In his hands he gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes;
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Widely as his mercy goes.

Angels, help us to adore him;
Ye behold him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Praise him, praise him,
Praise him, praise him,
Praise with us the God of grace.

—Hen­ry F. Lyte
