A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD — Ein’ feste Burg
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great;
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our [...]
“Man’s Happiness is God Himself”
Heavenly Notes

June 2009
“Because your loving-kindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.” Psalm 63:3
The truth of God’s Word teaches us that Christ and Christ alone, is “better than life.” For believers, the thought of life without Christ is unbearable and impossible to conceive. He is our life, our hope, our salvation and we [...]
An Elect Child Justified
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Rom 8:33
”How may I know I have understood the gospel and that I am elect?
First, by the Word of God having come in divine power to the soul so that my self-complacency is shattered and my self-righteousness is renounced.
Second, by the Holy [...]

Grace to Stand Devotionals: “Be Holy”
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, [...]
Our Anxiety and God’s Aseity
“In him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your own poets have said, For we are indeed his offspring.” Act 17:28
A whirlwind of anxiety and fear surrounds us day by day with the events in our world and especially in light of the unimaginable liberal leanings of the current [...]
A JoyPals Moment: On “Hope”
“It is obvious that from the Christian standpoint no greater injury can be done to the true progress and healing of humanity in this present evil world than to make it promises and offer it remedies which have no vital connection with the hope of eternal life. For this hope along can in the long [...]

“Kingdom Life” and “Axis of Evil”
“Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.” III John 1:11
Today, as we see evil in our midst in the person of Ahmadinejad, I was reminded of this post from the past. It is good [...]
Elections and the Casting of Lots
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:33
The peace that passes understanding is the knowledge that the Omnipotent, Holy, Righteous and Glorious God is in providential control of all things in heaven and earth. Let the gainsayers, soothsayers, prognosticators and men/women with no knowledge as dust particles [...]
Yes World and Charlie Gibson, God Has A Plan
In light of the ignorance of man as to God’s world and His providential plan and control of it, let us enlighten you:
God Has a Plan
It is unthinkable that a God of infinite wisdom and power would create a world without a definite plan for that world. And because God is thus infinite His plan [...]
Reformed Women, Theology Girls on Media
If you spend any time whatsoever watching/listening to the media in any of its forms, you are soon overwhelmed with how biased, unfair, liberal and devilish it is. This is especially so as it pertains to political matters. The recent attack against Sarah Palin (who we and the over 14,000 members of the JoyPals Network [...]

Women and the Knowledge of God
http://www.theologygirls.blogspot.com/
Theology and Women:
Many Christian women are under the false idea that the “study of God” is only for men. There is nothing so far from the truth. All of God’s children, men, women and children are called to “know” God; study to “know” God and to grow [...]
Think Before You Teach
“Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers,
for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”
James 3:1
Think Before You Teach
In our Joypals group, we have been studying Carol Ruvolo’s “James on Works” which I would highly recommend for women’s Bible-Book studies. I always enjoy Carol’s studies because she “digs deep” [...]
God’s Divine Promises
The Divine promises make known the good pleasure of God’s will to His people, to bestow upon them the riches of His grace. They are the outward testimonies of His heart, who from all eternity loves them and fore-appointed all things for them and concerning them. In the person and work of His Son, God [...]

ALL SUFFICIENT GRACE*
God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all-sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good word and work.” —2 Corinthians 9:8
All-sufficiency in all things! Believer! Surely you are “thoroughly furnished!” Grace is no scanty thing, doled out in pittances. It is a glorious treasury, which [...]
“No Other Gospel” Finding True Freedom in the Message of Galatians
“Paul’s letter to the Galatians confronts the “different gospel” that took root in first century Galatia and still entices believers today. He exposes it as a deadly distortion of truth and provides much needed correction. Understanding his teaching is as important today (maybe more so!) as it was then.” _Carol Ruvolo“No Other Gospel” teaches us [...]

In the “multitude of counselors” there is safety. We have had some encounters recently which greatly disturb us as Reformed believers and I am sure you have likewise encountered these things in your ministries. I was reminded recently that there are “many” who hold themselves out to be “teachers” but are rather “babes” in knowledge [...]
