My Desire Is ...

1. To exalt the grace of God.

2. To proclaim salvation alone through the blood  and righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

3. To declare the sinfulness, helplessness, and hopelessness of man in a state of nature.

4. To describe, as far as I am able, the living experience of the saints of God in their trials, temptations, and sorrows; and in their consolations and blessings.

[J. C. Philpot]



Psalm 18:46 ... The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.


Romans 5:8 ... But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.


1 Peter 4:12-13 ... Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


2 Corinthians 4:6 ... For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
