A W Pink

Just starting the book 'The Sovereignty of God' by fellow Notts-boy A.W.Pink. Although this is an extra read to Relay stoofs, I was struck by a sentence in the introduction about Pink's life, on the subject of the doctrine of Scripture (which was a large part of the beginning of my relay studies).

"However strongly he insists on the doctrines of Scripture, he never views correct doctrine as an end in itself, but rather as a means to a greater end - the glory of God in the salvation and sanctification of sinners"

BOOM. Feel the challenge.

Salvation without Jesus?

We Rest On Thee

We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender!
We go not forth alone against the foe;
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.

Yes, in Thy Name, O Captain of salvation!
In Thy dear Name, all other names above;
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure Foundation,
Our Prince of glory and our King of love.

We go in faith, our own great weakness feeling,
And needing more each day Thy grace to know:
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing,
“We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go.”

We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender!
Thine is the battle, Thine shall be the praise;
When passing through the gates of pearly splendor,
Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days.
