Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church Beholding God, Pursuing Godliness, Proclaiming Christ.

6May/09Off

Join us for prayer – Wednesdays at 7pm!

Labor for what you pray for: and think not that praying is all that you have to do, to get God's grace, any more than to get your food and raiment; but you must labor, and beg, for God's blessing thereon.

Awake & Arise

richardbaxter.jpg"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork; day unto day utters speech, night unto night shows knowledge."  Every time the sun rises up you, it really calls you to turn; as if it should say, "What do I travel and compass the world for, but to declare to men the glory of their Maker, and to light them to do his work? and do I still find you doing the work of sin, and sleeping out your life in negligence?  Awake you that sleep and arise from the dead and Christ shall give you light." "The night is spent, the day is at hand: it is now high time to awake out of sleep: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.  Let us walk honestly as in the day, not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strike and envying; but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof."
