Desiring God Conference

Seeing more of God & more of ourselves

“Growing in the gospel means seeing more of God’s holiness and more of my sin. And because of what Jesus has done for us on the cross, we need not fear seeing God as he really is or admitting how broken we really are. Our hope is not in our own goodness, nor in the vain expectation that God will compromise his standards and ‘grade on a curve.’ Rather, we rest in Jesus as our perfect Redeemer — the One who is ‘our righteousness, holiness and redemption’ (1 Cor. 1:30).”

- Bob Thune and Will Walker, The Gospel-Centered Life (World Harvest Mission, 2009), 6.

Total Depravity & Responsibility

ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED

"Some Christians seem to be accepted in their own experience, at least, that is their apprehension. When their spirit is lively and their hopes bright, they think God accepts them, for they feel so high, so heavenly-minded, so drawn above the earth! But when their souls cleave to the dust, they are the victims of the fear that they are no longer accepted. If they could but see that all their high joys do not exalt them, and all their low despondencies do not really depress them in their Father’s sight, but that they stand accepted in One who never alters, in One who is always the beloved of God, always perfect, always without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, how much happier they would be, and how much more they would honour the Saviour! Rejoice then, believer, in this: thou art accepted in the beloved."

-Spurgeon

Tip of the Week

Slave to the Praise of Man

“Do you make an idol of other people’s opinion of you? The poor galley slave, who is flogged at every stroke of the laborious oar, is free in comparison with the man who lives upon the breath of popularity, who craves the esteem of his fellow-men, and is afraid and trembles if they criticize him.”
- Charles Spurgeon

"He will share us with no other" (from Reformed Voices)

"When God 'begins a good work in us,' He will never rest until every idol comes down and all filthiness is cleansed from our lives! He is determined to 'be our God,' and He will share us with no other!"

-Charles Leiter, Justification and Regeneration

Stained Glass Windows

(Matt. 9: 37-38, 21:12-13, 23:13, 1 Sam 2:11-17, Jer 5:30-31)

Steve: Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite, spittin’ the gospel and not livin’ it/ I got the Word and the Spirit it’s not like I’m ill-equipped/ but sometimes my pride slips and I find my lips/ quotin’ the lines and scripts that makes my heart skip// then I get hit with conviction/ Lord I was trippin’ forgive me for missin’ it this time I’ma sit and listen/ I’ve made a lot of apologies for speakin’ sharply/ when you simply wanted me to live godly// I’m to quick to point the finger/ at all of these false teachers, rappers, pastors and gospel singer/ sometimes I think my rhyme’s cool/ but I gotta go back and change lines ’cause I’m off on somethin’ doctrinal// but your grace is sufficient/ when I’m bein’ a chicken out in the streets not witnessin’ I’m still forgiven/ It’s easy to preach with a mic/ but I’m slow of speech like Moses when I’m toe to toe in the streets right?// But I can’t let it stop me/ the word’s still gotta go forth, I just got drop the hypocrisy/ there’s no time to stop preachin’ it/ the world and the church are wildin’ out somebody’s gotta keep speakin’ it// so I pray that I can present it right/ but it starts in the heart and your the only one I know that can get it right/ but I’m patient the walk is still a fight/ so I’ma continue grippin’ the mic, prayin’ you help me to spit it right//

Hook: It’s time to do somethin’ the Lord is waitin’ for the saints to pray for more laborers y’all/ so move somethin’/ we all need to repent yo, the world can’t see God in the church through the stained glass windows// the house of prayer has become a den of thieves/ a circus of false worship mocked by God’s enemies/ the Pharisee leaven is sin yo, the world can’t see God in the church through the stained glass windows//

Cuts

Steve: It ain’t a game no more/ Satan’s puttin’ in mad work with his demons you the church is at war/ but, while families are headed for hell/ greedy hypocritical Christian keep the word of life to themselves// the church has lost it’s compassion/ they no longer sit with the sinners their content with throwin’ their cash in/ a bucket, “let somebody else do it, I ain’t got time”/ cats caught up fellowship while the worlds dyin’// the front liners are few/ the nurses out number the soldiers a hundred and 149 to 22/ we’re to busy convertin’ Christians/ bickerin’ over the gift of tongues and dispensationalism// there’s no love for the lost/ everybody’s prayin’ for revival but nobody’s willin’ to pay the cost/ his watchmen are blind, dumb dogs that can’t even bark/ the lamps lack oil, why should a revival spark?// the flame wouldn’t sustain/ we’re too immature to bear children, years later only drama would remain/ I’m sure the Lord’s about to throw up/ the church is lukewarm and the children of God need to grow up// I can’t take the name Stephen/ and sit silent while the name of God is blasphemed among the heathen/ they take Him for a joke because present him that way/ the salvation of the masses is at stake//
