[hometext] => The day I found out what life's all about.
[bodytext] => PEARL OF GREAT PRICE (Free Grace) He pled his case, he laid it out; The purpose for life, he left no doubt. I sat in awe, I was aghast; the truth at last – it came so fast. How did he use God’s word so well, and with such ease free grace reveal: In quick succession and not much time, explained God’s attributes – so sublime. From Eden’s garden to Pentecost; how men are saved, how men are lost- Adamic sin and the debt that’s due, Christ’s substitutionary passion too. Holy wind blows, dry bones to raise; quicken a prophet from his spiritual grave; Raise up flesh from it’s dust and dew- Rescue Gomer from the slave block too. Wonder of wonders, Pearl of great price - that which differentiates men from mice. Our Sovereign God, his eternal decree, His amazing love, and his mercy so free. Blood on the door posts, manna so sweet; Blood from His Bloodstained hands and feet, all laid out in an oral display ; it blew my mind, took my heart away. I’ll never forget that fateful day past, When Pastor Ferrell Griswold too me to task. He handled God’s word with a swordsman’s skill. My spirit to raise, the flesh to kill. ******* Rom. 7:18 “ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing.” John 6:63 “ It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.” John 6:44 “No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him.” John 6:65 “No man can come unto me, except it be given to him of my Father.” Eph.1:11"In whom we have obtained an INHERITANCE.... - We don't do a thing to inherit; it's freely given to sons and daughters.
