Your “Testimony” Is Boring

While working on my testimony for my baptism. I came across this article by Michael S. Horton titled “When Your ‘Testimony’ Is Boring”. It proved to be of a great help to me and definitely worth checking out if your baptism is coming up or perhaps practically any time when sharing your testimony. Horton, grounds much of the order of salvation to Christ, turning our ill notions of “how we came to know Christ” into something more Christ centred, giving all credit to him.

“The process [emphasis his] of repentance and sanctifying conversion is not a goal to which we strive, but a reality from which we live.” Horton

The Prodigal

One of my favorites from the album “Sons & Daughters” by Sovereign Grace Music.

 

 

“ This animation is built on 1 John 3:1, and a song by Sovereign Grace Music entitled Prodigal Which, in turn, is based on Christ's parable of the prodigal son. As humans we, by our nature, run from and hate God and anything that would bind us to Him - Yet in His great love He sent Jesus Christ to bear all our punishment and to bring us into the love filled, all satisfying arms of our Father God. Consider Him and His love for YOU as you watch this, that He would call us His own children.”
